    not sure I follow? Your new account gets banned? You need to create it on a new ip and clear browser data. The easiest way to do that:

    1. Clear your browser data for the page entirely (best to make a new browser profile).
    2. Use celular hotspot for mobile network IP. These are highest value IPs as they are residential and shared between a pool of people. Very difficult to fingerprint.
    3. Create account with an email and details you have not used before.
    4. Use that setup for a while then switch to a VPN.

    This is a very effective anti-fingerprint strategy that will get you over 99% of fingerprint systems and allow you to make as many accounts whenever you want.


  • Tbh I’m 80% conviced that Reddit is infiltrated by Israel astroturf and I say that as someone who used to support Israel.

    All these bad actor signs that Israel justifies is actually doing a long term opposite if it can flip supporters like this. Extremely poor leadership of really unmatched levels up until recent US election of Trump imo.

    You need to delete all of your content ASAP because 12 year account can be 100% tied back to you. Everything you said and all of your history data might as well be public on the web with your name right now so you should keep that in mind.

    Its laughably easy to tie accounts to identities these days with machine learning tools and 12 years of data is a lot.

    Got banned for saying that “Israeli people should be upset enough with Netanyahu to have his head on a pike” for “advocating violence”. Even non-native English speakers are familiar with this expression which does not literally mean heads on pikes unless you somehow travel back in time to medieval Europe.

    I’ve been on reddit since it’s inception and while I didn’t go there that often now that Lemmy exists the ban kinda seals the Reddit brand for me.

    Another turning point was the April fools mini game this year which was universally hated. This has never happened on Reddit before. I think Reddit is beyond redemption at this point unfortunately and Reddit itself thinks that so they’ll get their bags while they can.
