News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

I was permabanned a while ago due to support of my boy Luigi for "inciting violence".

Whatever. I tried getting around it the traditional ways (making new accounts with temporary emails, using VPNs) but was having no luck. They had beefed up the way they do permabans.

My question is: has anyone found a way to get around a permaban on reddit that works in 2025 without being silently banned? I'd need specific details. I'm hoping to access on iOS also but if it needs to be on PC that's fine too.

I'm not going to appeal my ban since I don't believe I did anything wrong but I do want to stick it to them by getting around their ban. Besides there are some communities I need to be able to ask questions in.

I can answer this

  • create a new email
  • Clear your browser cache (all of it)
  • get a VPN, turn it on
  • sign up with a new account with the new email

They don't perma ban IPs because IP addresses change, they do it for a few weeks at a time so you only need to keep this up for a couple weeks before you can just use it like normal.

You can't -- only way is to avoid all politically-charged subreddits. They'll ban anyone using even remotely violent words to describe US current events, especially in large subs where US politics and news are discussed. You can't even create a new account and use it immediately after a ban.

It's really a chilling effect over there. I betcha they're now using something new to supplant human moderators, and reactionaries are prowling the subs to flag anyone desecrating their idols.

new IP, new device, and different browser, especially one that either hides fingerprinting or scrambles it. also change your behavior from your previous bans, like spamming, engaging in controversial subs, writing style, maybe comment in a niche sub first, dont go to large subs right away.

if your using a new locaiton, your reddit usage might be limited, unless your using a new mobile device/ or device with new IP address.

Why? Reddit is a cancer, let it die.

There is also no way when they go out of their way more than any other company to catch people who were banned. I don't understand the sheer level of pettiness to do that.

You already found it. Welcome to something better.

Delete your accounts. Best way to stick it to them. Leave and never go crawling back to corporate shitheads.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 week ago

U need to change ur device fingerprint.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 week ago (1 children)

You don't. If they don't want you, why stick around?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago (2 children)

Like it or not they have a monopoly on the most active forum service. To the point where no other service is really useful when it comes to asking live questions and getting live answers for many different topics.

I actively want to destroy them for this. They are swallowing up the internet, so they gave me no choice. I will support Lemmy for this reason.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 week ago

And it steals hours from your life.

If I need to go there, I use the LibRedirect extension. Read-only reddit is good enough for my needs.

They'll instantly ban me if I post from my laptop for some reason but if I post from my phone it's fine? I'm behind a permanent VPN that's running on my router so I guess that's why?

I made my Reddit account by using the "login with Apple" feature after downloading the app on my phone and I just never make any post from my laptop not even a comment otherwise I'll be instantly banned.

Honestly I'm reading what everyone else had said in the comments and I agree it's a blessing the only reason I'm on Reddit now is because the vocaloid community there is bigger. Lemmy is a good replacement for everything else.

VPN is an autoban from reddit, only other way is using proxies/new device, anti-detect browsers, but this doesnt come cheap if your not earning an income with hordes of accounts at yuor disposal and its generally not worth it for someone that wants to engage in reddit.

i heard they give more leniency to mobile app created accounts, they dont ban them as heavily as one created from a PC, im guessing because reddit wants your mobile app data more than they want a browser one from a PC.

Not to care and move on

I'm in the same boat, I did try and appeal but it went unanswered. It seems like a 9 month no use wait for the site before you can try and create a new account according to what I've read. Hopefully someone can give us some better ideas.
