A couple months ago my account was permabanned (was not provided a reason) from the site and I have since been trying to make a new one. The problem is though that every single time I make a new account, it is either instantly suspended or suspended a couple hours later. So far I have tried: -Unplugging my router for a few minutes to change my IP -Clearing all of my cookies -Making the account on a very old device (which has never logged into Reddit before) -Using a brand new email -Making the account on Duckduckgo which has encrypted connections

Mind you, I did all of these together, at the same time, and Reddit still was able to instantly link my account to it. Is there a single thing I can possibly do to avoid this ban and make a new account? It seems like Reddit has like CIA-level technology that is somehow able to track me regardless of how many ludicrous holes I try to jump through.

      its mostly spez, whom later caved to muk’s demand that is doing this. i dont think she had much of an effect in the early days.

      its only when trump became president in his first term, then reddit became super serious in banning people. because the amount of russian back troll bots were starting to appear in large numbers, and then we got oh so you dont like “conservatives” type of people.

      this ain’t it chief, blaming ellen pao for reddit’s downfall is insanely clueless.

      she got glass cliff’d on a confluence of issues on the platform, none of which were because of her. if you want to point the finger at anyone, point it at spez.
