Isn’t it trivial anyway, since you can still create unlimited anonymous accounts via old.reddit?

wait, you can do that? does it check IP?

[-] deweydecibel@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Yes but IP is less useful nowadays as a way to identify users. VPNs are commonplace now, everyone has at least two or three IPs (their home, their mobile, their work/school), more than one person can be using the platform in the same place, etc.

Not to say they don't pay attention to that but it's not enough on it's own.

sweet. well ill give it a shot for education and see how long it lasts. when i was permabanned my old alts also got banned within a few days (even though i hadnt used them in months)

[-] Critical_Insight@feddit.uk 2 points 1 year ago

I had over 10 different reddit accounts throught the years. Few of them were banned from certain subs but I just came back later with a different account and they never banned me again. I'm using a VPN though.

sweet. new test account on old reddit good so far, I'm expecting to wake up to it banned. will see. no VPN

[-] jarfil@lemmy.world 3 points 1 year ago

If you use it from the same IP, browser, device, or App, that you have previously used with any banned account, then you'll likely get it banned for ban evasion.

[-] jcit878@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

that's what I expect as well. will see how long it takes

[-] jcit878@lemmy.world 0 points 1 year ago

yeah banned again, took about 12 hours. lovely aggressive message about my 'multiple, repeated violations'. VPN sounds better idea, tried it once but was also banned again quick, someone suggested the IP might have previously been used for similar things

[-] PoolloverNathan@programming.dev 2 points 1 year ago

They also fingerprint your browser, so make sure to clear any data Reddit can access.

[-] foggy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 year ago

It checks IP for things like you trying to boost your own posts. Beyond that it's fine.
