  that part of my statement wasnt based in anything I know for certain, I see it mentioned a lot, I know they’re doing something with algorithms that auto-ban suspected accounts,

  I wouldnt put it past them however. while I think my phone is comprimised anyway and unsuitable for going back to Reddit, I know that one way to get hardware id’d for good. is by installing that stupid reddit app, which I wont do ever

    They absolutely get your IP and probably some cookie data saved on your computer. Not sure about phones, those are privacy nightmares. I got tagged for trying to get around an IP ban on a sub, so they absolutely track that. Cleared all cookies and trackers, unplugged my modem for a few hours so my ISP would issue a new IP, and once I verified that I had a new IP I was able to use the sub under a different account.

      I tried something similar and even waited not hours but months before I even attempted to log in. My account would be fine but the moment I post I get shadowbanned.

        Same account? Sure. New account? I’m surprised.
