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

    I’d say you can try do it; but I caution you on doing so. It will be problematic

    You cannot be completely undetected if using the reddit app. You must avoid using a mobile device; these are too easily trackable and the browsers on mobile devices lack sufficient privacy protections.

    • First and foremost you’ll have to setup to access reddit from a completely unique device. I recommend a virtual machine on a computer using a privacy respecting browser like Librewolf.
    • Secondly, you’ll need a good paid VPN…I recommend Mullvad. Do not create your account with this VPN! It will trip alarms.
    • Third, you’ll need a laptop with a similar private browser. do not use your main Windows user account. Create a new local account. This is to enforce that you do not access reddit for account creation using a “known” browser fingerprint.
    • Fourth, you will need to travel. It must be somewhere out of town; and you should be using a public wifi network when creating the reddit account. Be aware of the ISP coverage in your area and travel far enough that you do not use the same ISP as your own. If you don’t know their coverage area; look it up online. Travel to a place they don’t offer service.
    • Fifth, Once you have traveled, use the clean windows account you created to create the new reddit account. Do not name your account similar to your banned account, or subscribe to any subreddits that are outside of /r/popular.
    • Farm some karma. Ideally 1k is enough. 100 will do in a pinch but you’ll need to keep farming it; which is a dumb idea to do on a VPN.
    • Verify a fresh email address. Use only tuta.com as your mail provider.
    • Stay off the reddit account on your home PCs and network. Use reddit only in a public wifi setting on the laptop as described above. Do this for no less than 30 days while farming karma. No need to travel out of town; local public/private wifi will do. (Just not yours).
    • Once the account has aged a month; you can log in with the VPN as mentioned above at home using the virtual machine at home. Continue using the VPN for the foreseeable future. Enjoy sticking it to Spez.

        As someone who formerly modded on reddit for over a decade; I do know what trips the alerts typically. The steps I give are important to establish a fresh account with nothing an idle internet sleuth can link back to you; as well as preventing Mod(Bots) from detecting you. Reddit Automoderator has ‘Admin eyes’…even if it lacks the permissions to act like one. It can, and will use algorithms on those eyes to assess your ‘threat level’. Knowing the trajectory of reddit when I quit; it probably uses AI now. Before it was a dumb blackbox of algorithmic rules the Admins never really made fully clear about how it worked. This dumb blackbox made frequent mistakes.
