new email that's not linked to your old one, reddit doesn't ban your IP.

Or just take it as time to make a clean break, reddit is becoming a dumpster fire.

    They don’t ban IP but they do place extra scrutiny on IPs that have previously had banned activity for a bit.

    Banning IPs is one of the silliest things people think companies do, they are transient and can change at the drop of a hat, banning an IP would mean banning random people at random times based purely on luck of the draw IP leases.

    Looking from a safe distance, Reddit seems hellbent on destroying their own brand, death by a thousand cuts if I recall the expression correctly. So I wouldn't put past them to be at the very least very aggressive about IPs.

    Banning by IP address is a bad practice. For example, you are connected to your home, campus, work office, restaurant, or airport public Wi-Fi access point (AP), leave a comment, and now everyone who is connected to the same AP sharing the same IP address get banned.
