I was using some bots to spam on reddit with some accounts and they were banned but in the same day my other account that is not using bots was banned too. Could be for a reason related to the account itself but could it also be that Reddit somehow detected the acc belongs to the same person? the link was not the same (I use different getallmylinks usernames) but the final destination was same (although I use free trial links and they are different to some extent yet part of them is always the same). What do you guys think?
Does Reddit have facial recognition or same link final destination detection?

Never needed to do facial verification on Reddit, I don't think they have it
but guess their system is advanced enough to recognize faces and other notable details although now that I think about it they may not use it because imagine someone is stealing my photos and using them then why should I get banned. I guess it's more related to the link if the ban I got was as a result of spam activity on other accounts

Reddit doesn't give a dime about ID verifications. If they sense something suspicious, they will ban your account and get over with it

Yes, Reddit likely detected a connection between your accounts and flagged them all.
On what basis? Are you talking from experience or guessing?

i dont see how, they dont require facial recognition of any kind, i think your confusing it with facebook, that requires a facial recognition for thier accounts. spamming will get you banned from most subs, and even sitewide.
if your devices, or IP is connect they will ban it all at once. other forums have reported recently, that it only took account temp ban or permaban to trigger a multi-account ban.
bots are also easily detected and ban, reddit is plagued with them, but they are selectively enforcing which bots and spammers to ban though, which is the lowest hanging fruit, and not state actors, like troll farms. they only need to see the device, browser, and IP address you have multiple accs to ban all of them, if you have repeated ban evasions or botting.
facebook is the only i have recently used that requires facial recognition.
My question is what are the ways to connect accounts belonging to the same person/agency if those accounts are not used on the same IP or device? Could it be face on the photos or maybe the links? My links are different (I use getallmylinks and change them all the time) but at the end they point to the same OF profile. Could that be a way for Reddit to detect it?

Did you post the same image across the accounts? Since that is detectable.

They are detecting you because of something else
Like you device, photos, content, links, IP, etc

they can detect patterns between different accts, if your posting the same way, spamming, even writing the same way, and going into the same subs it can get flagged. not only that but they compare your accts to other accounts that have been banned by different users.
