I have been banned from Reddit for saying something stupid in a subreddit. Every new account I make now also gets banned. I have tried using a VPN, proxies, NstBrowser profiles, etc. I am getting a new computer soon and am considering changing my IP address with my ISP. Will a new computer and a new IP from my ISP help, maybe?
 
The last time I owned an iPhone was the iPhone 2, I've been on Android ever since

Have you tried using your Android phone? I use one, and it works perfectly for me.

Lol so annoying isn't it? This has happened to me countless times even when I was not doing any kind of marketing, just innocent post, nothing contrversial but some little wokey downvotes for some arbitrary reason and account is destroyed across the whole site - for one downvote on 1 sub whole account ghosted on whole site.

Most sites get like this when they get so big they have so many more rules to follow. The worst thing about reddit though is they don't tell you these rules and hide them and yet you are supposed to follow them perfectly. lol.

In reaction to my frustration on reddit I instead went old school looking for smaller independent forums - the age old marketing medium. I find that much more chill. You can sign up to quieter forums and post to them without the extreme restrictions of reddit. Of course don't be an obvious spammer, but just use common sense.

Of course small means less traffic but what is the point of lots of traffic if you can't access it. :)

The bigger the website = the bigger the amount of bullshit you gotta deal with.

Yeah, I've tried that too. But my phone also gets blocked even if I'm not using Wi-Fi, and even when I try different apps like Relay and RedReader, and different browsers
 
You should take the time to learn how to share content on Reddit without violating its rules. If you keep posting the same way you did before, your new account will likely get banned sooner or later as well.
 
Buy a shitty secondary phone, a new sim card, use a new Google account
 
I guess this is the solution.
It is...new device, new IP, new Google account, everything new, never connect that phone to your WiFi and other potential silly mistakes that could link your accs
 
Yes, both in different browsers on the phone, simcard and wifi.
That strongly suggests you have something in your behaviour or something very unique tying back to you. Perhaps your screen resolution/timezone/canvas is actually completely unique as a combination.

I think Reddit is pretty good at identifying a device, whether it's a phone, laptop, or desktop, based on the device fingerprint. I also tried the Mullvad browser, which can generate new fingerprint profiles, but Reddit detected it immediately

Ever since Reddit IPO'ed, their actual customer is the shareholders, not the users. Having a billion braindead users is better for them now than having a thoughtful community of people. Anyone who goes against the grain is the second one so off with your head and they're never gonna tell you why because they know you're smart enough to do evade the more stupid rules if they did.

Any browser that claims you can change fingerprint are basically useless without knowing specifically how the destination website will fingerprint and handling that very specifically. They are so common, that all of the real providers fingerprint things an anti-detect browser cannot possibly fake, e.g. they know if the GPU you claim to have is real or not based specifically on how it handles a specific set of mathematical operations or draws certain pixels. So changing things like your WebRTC IP or adding noise is not going to be able to circumvent that. If anything, it will make your profile more unique and not less.
 
I have tried using a VPN
VPNs or low quality (ISP) IPs won’t work for Reddit, you need to use hq mobile or residential IPs and more importantly you’ll need to ensure each of your accounts is running isolated in terms of fingerprints as well.

I find that the part about isolating to create new fingerprints is quite difficult. I suppose it's almost only possible on a new phone or computer. I've tried NstBrowser with a new fingerprint, but Reddit detects it immediately. I've considered trying a virtual machine in VirtualBox, but I don't know if that will help. The mobile IPs I've seen have been quite expensive, I think
