Is there anything I can use coupled with a VPN to block device fingerprinting, like software I can use on my phone.

Ill be frank, I am attempting to circumvent Reddit ban evasion. We all know they are some punk ass removed and they ban people for very frivolous reasons.

If anyone has some guidance. I’ve attempted using a VPN, and a browser incognito mode and still I’ve been banned. Been through countless handles with tons of emails from AOL based to gmails to yahoo to Proton emails, still banned. As of now I have been provoked and just want to stick it to them. Because fuck em.

Despite this Reddit has very wide expanding anonymous communities that I grew quite accustomed to. I am not in person social person but I really need a sense of community which is what I used Reddit for. However, a few years ago I said something ridiculous and since then its like I’ve been on a list

    sure

    and they ban people for very frivolous reasons

    do they? i’ve said some heinous stuff when i was a dumb angry kid on reddit, but i’ve never had an account banned

    i mean this very sincerely and i don’t hope i come across as an asshole, but it sounds like you have a toxic dependency on browsing reddit. there’s much more to life than arguing with people online, go join a sports club or start painting or something that makes you happy instead, you’ll thank yourself for doing so in a few years

      I realize you are coming from a helpful place and I appreciate that but the enjoyment I get out of Reddit is my business to be honest.

      You may see it as toxic but I find the community of it to be exactly what I prefer. I have AuDHD (which is ADHD with a pinch of high functioning autism) I like to jump from topic to topic. Some things that I need information on, some things that I just obsess about. Feelings to help understand. There was a large community of folks like me that understands how my brain works more so that having to explain it every time so it was a good place to just post and respond and feel apart of something. Actually I wouldn’t have gotten diagnosed without speaking to people on there, getting through the stigmas and fears.

      Do I fuck around on there as well, of course I do but it beats being around strangers.

      Ps I do paint and have activities I do by myself but I am physically isolated alot (by preference) so Reddit was my outlet.

      Lemmy isn’t bad its just not as wide as reaching as Reddit

      I got banned from a community. My wife, who has the same IP address as me since we share our internet, caused me to get a 7 day ban on reddit when she posted on that community. So yeah sometimes it isn’t thought through. That doesn’t mean there are total asshats on reddit getting banned though.
