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.

    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.

    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.

    Just don't go to reddit. You miss nothing there.

    I was on Reddit and commented that a CEO that exploits their employees should be exploited as well and got a permaban and they deleted the comment, filled an appeal and asked why i can't call out a CEO for exploitation and they responded that the ban was unfounded and the comment restored and the ban "lifted", it wasn't and i couldn't be bothered to pursue further so do the sensible thing and let it die, it's liberating.

    Also here's proof of their incompetence.

    I got perma-banned yesterday... too for a dumb joke that was misunderstood by their oversensitive algorithm. It wasn't the first time, either. I'm not a hateful or bigoted person but their content filters think I am. Finally, I decided I didn't need to justify myself to their nameless faceless algorithm. I'm going cold turkey without my Reddit addiction, and I'm going to really make a go here on the Fedi.

    I've been through this. If you used the app on your phone they tie your account to your device. The app is very intrusive. I went down the rabbit hole of trying everything a fellow banned redditor did step by step and many ways around a permaban. They all don't work. The solution: use a different device that you didn't use for reddit before.

    VPN and TOR browser makes you have a shadow ban eventually, so don't try that.get a new device.

    I support punishment and public humiliation

    Well you sound like a typical reddit user. I can't tell you how to get back with those creeps but please don't stay here.

    I think most people support punishing school shooters and there's some acceptance of "humiliation" but I suppose it depends on your definition and I would need more context to understand what happened and your position.

    But why not just stay on Lemmy? Is it because you want to share your perspectives with a larger audience than Lemmy? Have you tried Lemmy and have an opinion of it?

    Beware not be under the influence of Stockholm syndrome, the mental issue of growing attached to someone who does you harm.
