I doubt they'll ever reinstate the people they've banned. They ban based on IMEI numbers, so it's impossible to make another account unless you get a new device

Probably not IMEI as 3rd party android applications haven't been able to see that since android 10 (there are other persistent identifiers such as widevine DRM ID)

You probably realise but even if they could, you could get around this by simply using the web browser to access Reddit

Still banned straight away

There's more to device recognition than IMEI, and I was using the proper app out of convenience

I want it in my pocket, not on a computer

You are being fingerprinted..

Step 0 is using a different IP not tied to your previous activity

Making anonymous reddit accounts is not hard, although you're better off here anyway

I did the IP thing

It's definitely device fingerprinting

You encountered a real person! And they were not happy getting called a nazi.

I guess they had a problem with being told that supporting Musk's sig heil gestures as "funny" meant they were cool with nazis

Someone would think Musk's gesture was funny? God, it was concerning at least, phew.

[–] FistingEnthusiast@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 1 week ago

They were a nazi

They thought it was funny because they liked it

This comment thread makes me think it would be cool if there was a Lemmy community for sharing Reddit ban evasion info

I got judged hard for asking for that months ago when I got banned for "evasion" lol, I actually want to evade the site in gernal now tho

Are you sure it was IMEI? Unless you were using reddit over sms they shouldn't have access to that. IP addresses on the other hand they do have, and those are network specific.
