How does blocking work when it’s pretty easy to get a new MAC address and IP while also using a different browser like Mullvad’s? Or even use an entirely different device on an entirely different network?
Tried that. Didn’t work. I have tried tons of different IPs with different mac addresses and tons of different browsers and even tried signing up entirely in a virtual machine. At best my account will stay up until I start posting and joining subreddits and it can detect who I am based on how I use the site/what I type.
Are you using the same network for those different approaches? If so, it could be your network. That or you have quite a unique online fingerprint. I’d be curious to know what it is they do when blocking someone, that’d make it much easier to work around.
I have been known by so many users names in Reddit. You can just create a new account.
No I cannot. I am blocked. Not banned.
