- throwaway6734 5y agoReddit provides tooling to identify people on new accounts that have been banned in the past. I think you'd need to couple this with a VPN
- intended 5y agoVPNs dont matter anyway. Just make a new account. Unless you have some topic you constantly focus on, or have a tag line you repeat, you will be invisible.
- throwaway6734 5y agoThis is not true (speaking from personal experience)
- belltaco 5y agoNot true. Only admins can see alt accounts(based on IP address), and they never reveal alt accounts of others to even mods.
- throwaway6734 5y agoI've had new accounts banned for participating in subreddits where old accounts had been banned
- UncleSlacky 5y agoSpeaking as a Reddit mod, it's often possible to identify ban evaders through their use of language.
- throwaway6734 5y agoThis was a very large subreddit and my new account had very little content at the time
