Holy hell Reddit is invasive. Got banned a few years ago. Went to make a new account and within a day it was banned. New email, new computer... how the hell do they have way too much information on you? It's actually kinda scary how insidious those fuckers are.
The answer is Google.
Reddit has the Google login integration and advertiser id.
Your Gmail account and Google advertising id has de-anonymized you
That is helpful to know. Probably why I haent been banned as I use reddit on web only, ditched the Android reddit crapplication
So that's why when I created a new account it still banned me.
If your Reddit post history is anything like it is on Lemmy, I'm honestly not surprised. Being a dick to people will get you banned on Reddit fast, especially if it's a new account.
Same house? Your public IP might be logged as a red flag.
IP bans aren't a thing anymore. You can literally just restart your router to get a new one.
Ip bans may not be a thing, but IP reputation absolutely is. Just because you change your public address there is a good chance you will be allocated on in the same block and also get it reallocated back to you in the future.
With CGN being such a big thing in countries exhausting their V4 address space restarting your router may not switch your public address
Banned IP for me. I made a lot of throw-away accounts to answer simple questions and most where shadowbanned (maybe because I was using a VPN).
Interestingly I used to mod a subreddit, which shut down when the third party app controversy came to light in protest. I went to see if it ever reopened, and it's no longer even in existence as a Google search result. Just gone.
