they automatically shadowban vpn users, i was on another forum that they already had been banning vpn accounts(instant ban) for a while they all switched to using proxies, anti-detection browsers, ISP changes to evade the bans. anyone who have been using it recently will get shadowbanned instantly or eventually, hence the use of different proxies instead. even that is not fool-proof , and people are actually paying to do this(for thier OF accounts)
a way to check if your acc is shadowbanned is logout and incognito and try to look up your user profile(or any other redditors profile, if says missing or suspended, you know), it also can tell if a user has deactivated thier acc.
additionally reddit is currently going through a large purge of accounts as of recently, someone mentioned in another forum that there have been an unusual amount of account bans recently(like 3 in the last 3 months). i lost a couple of accs as a normal users, one of my acc got temp suspeneded, suddenly all my other accounts were immediately permabanned.(apparently some mods are extremely anal about reporting other people). theres other instances of other peoples acc were banned for no reason at all, appealing just gets a rejection notice(reddit admins arnt even bothering to look at it, they know)
I think they're either using google data to link email accounts to phone numbers or using an NLP model to identify users by how they write in the vans.
I hot banned on accounts tied to email addresses I haven't used in years, logged in from a vpn. Like. 5 email addresses. Many accounts on the email addresses hadn't been used in years. The only things linking them were a phone number I used for 2fa on google.
It's the Reddit app. It flags all accounts used to log in on them device.
I now only use the (broken) mobile page
they do the same with you IP too, and additionally if they catch any of your accts, mimicking your other accts, they can put 2 and 2 together.
Yes apparent the app gives them even more info, like you device id , components, Mac address, and it has a anti-vpn measure built in, unlike the browsers
I got like five accounts banned before I figured it out
Don't use it. Never have.
also using things like vcaptcha v3, which tracks your movements on the site. thats one aspect, if your using the app, they will be able to look at your device signature too. if you have more than 1 acc on an email, it can compromise them all(if one gets banned, perma ban all of them can take a hit). additionally they are purging many accounts right now too.
they can still ban all acc if your using the same VPN, . they are extra aggressive this time around.
