Is there anything I can use coupled with a VPN to block device fingerprinting, like software I can use on my phone.

Ill be frank, I am attempting to circumvent Reddit ban evasion. We all know they are some punk ass removed and they ban people for very frivolous reasons.

If anyone has some guidance. I've attempted using a VPN, and a browser incognito mode and still I've been banned. Been through countless handles with tons of emails from AOL based to gmails to yahoo to Proton emails, still banned. As of now I have been provoked and just want to stick it to them. Because fuck em.

Despite this Reddit has very wide expanding anonymous communities that I grew quite accustomed to. I am not in person social person but I really need a sense of community which is what I used Reddit for. However, a few years ago I said something ridiculous and since then its like I've been on a list

Reddit links your account to the phone IMEI. The only way to get around it is to get a different phone.

Websites do not have access to your IMEI. That's only a concern when you use the app.

What OP is describing sounds like they got some sort of hardware blacklisted. Either they are using the app on the same phone, or Reddit has blacklisted the modem MAC.

Websites don't have access to the MAC addresses of a device either.
