I like how reddit allows moderators to just ban users with basically no appeal process.

What a great business plan. Allow randoms to decide who gets to keep being a customer

    got a lot of accounts banned for ban evation. I can keep making new ones, create a couple of shitposts and you got enough karma to continue where you left

    It's hard to make a new account and not get flagged instantly.

    You have to change ip address. Email, even the device you use

    I can't be bothered anymore so now I just don't use reddit

    Oh no, it might take a whole minute.

    It will take one reboot of my router or one reset of the WAN-interface.

    Reddit still fingerprints your device.

    I'm permabanned on reddit. I have a VPN that changes my IP every day or so. If I make a new account on my phone or pc it's banned within a few hours.

    Until I get a new phone or pc I can't make an account. It knows the device, not just the IP.

    Idk what you are doing to make that neccessary (and am too afraid to ask)

    I was site banned as well but made a new account a very short time after the ban and have yet to be banned again.

    But it makes sense they are fingerprinting your device somehow to prevent ban-evasion.

    Only way I could see is only visiting the page within a obfuscated/very private OS (like Tails?) or a browser that fully wipes and obfuscates any connection between hardware and browser.

    You needing an entirely new device, like a completely different computer, just takes a whole minute?

    Do you just have spare PC's laying around your house?

    I don't know, I think letting your unpaid product managers have a little bit of leeway in curating the product line probably isn't the most irrational decision, otherwise they'd have to have to review the decisions and make policies and that'd take paid employees or development.
