    It was a new account, made from a new device, with a new email, through a new privacy-focused browser, on a VPN

    I was thinking of trying that after I get my new laptop but now I’m scared

    How’s that even possible tho? Did you use the same phone number for your new email I’d that you used before? There must be some link. I mean that’s just too much at this point

      Nope. It was a temp email account from one of those temp email sites that deletes the email account once you close the browser. I have no idea how they were able to track me, but it’s kinda scary.

        Did they reference the baned account by name or just that you were trying to ban evade? I’m wondering if they simply clocked it as a temp mail email and ban based on that.

        Okay

        So have you found any good alternative to reddit? Lemmy is good but there are very less users in here

          No. Lemmy is the best I’ve found, but there aren’t nearly enough users to make it anywhere close to as useful as Reddit.
