My alts got popped pretty quickly for ban evasion when my main account got banned.
Comment on As of today, I have stopped using Reddit entirely.

You can make a new account though, even with the same email address (or at least that used to be possible).

Yeah, the moment you use a connected mail address, number or IP address, it’s banhammer time. I got permabanned for advocating violence… when I discussed suicidal ideation

Mine was for saying child rapists should be executed. If their difference of opinion opinion on that topic is that strong I’m glad to no longer contribute to their platform.

I actually think I got shadowbanned because I was on an IP that was used by someone who was probably banned and my account got associated.

most people wont risk that, plus reddit will ban people faster if you use the same email. i just used a fork of FF, and old reddit and spin up a new email on a trusted email like hotmail(i dont use that for anything else). gmail used to be super trusted by reddit until Google started to restrict the amount of emails you can have per device.
new device/IP change/browser is enough as well.

Have you tried recently? Because the paradigm of having many reddit throwaways is a thing of the past. These days you can still register as many account as you want but the instant shadowban comes the moment you try to post something.
Emphasis on the shadowban, which is the default behavior. You can still submit posts and comments from as many accounts as you want but nobody else is going to see it.

if you use the same ip/device/browser then ban evasion will happen almost as fast you make an account. most forks have anti-fingerprinting capabilities, the less obscure the forks reddit likely wont ban you immediately. i made an account on librewolf after lurking on reddit from a shadowbans after a year(i think they lift bans on some people after a long time).
an exception is if you had dozens, or even hundreds of accounts spamming, and they banned all of them, its much harder to get around that. these are not your normal users, its the ones that spam thier businesses, or drive traffic to thier own site or its OF account. reddit start looking harder, like what kind of IP your using, IP thats from an abused source(used by spammers and bots).
