Device Fingerprinting software/techniques (lemm.ee)

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

Using a VPN could be part of the reason, I imagine they don't like people making accounts using one.

The best way I can think of is go to a library or something that uses a standard browser with a normal fingerprint, and is not on a VPN, and try signing up for a new account there using a new email address on gmail/yahoo or another 'normal' email provider. You want to look like a normal average user.

All the anti-fingerprinting and privacy stuff just makes you stand out more because there is less data being presented and makes you wildly different from the average user.

You're on Lemmy which has some of that! Also worth joining some discord groups for things you're interested in, or matrix if they are active (not very common).
