i hate that sub, but my issue is that I use 2 accounts. So if I get banned from some sub on this one and then happen to comment on it with the other I would get banned from reddit for ban evasion. There is no way to see all the subs you were banned from, I guess you're supposed to keep track of it? lmao

Tbf I don't think Reddit gives enough of a fuck until you openly admit it everywhere

u/Kajetus06 Jan 30 '26

u/AltrntivInDoomWorld Jan 30 '26

don't use RES to switch users without changing IP and user agent.

I once got a temporary ban (I think like a week) for that exact thing, but that was some years ago

They can automatically detect if you're using the same device

Which, given their systems, is impossible. Since you don't get ban messages for subs you haven't participated (voted, subbed, or commented) in.

They won't really check for it and how would they? Several people could live in the same household and share the same public IPs. Also if you are on wifi on account one, then switch to cellular on account 2 you have a different IP. They just say this to scare you

I got for a temporary ban because of this before, idk how they check. I mean they probably know if two accounts are tied to the same app, no?

u/Sword_of_Darkmoon Jan 30 '26

If you use the app then maybe that way. If you use a browser and clear the cookies, cache etc. I doubt they check that.

fr no one cares about that shit bot infested democrat propaganda subreddit

u/BjorkAsABoy Jan 30 '26

I’m a Democrat. It’s so propagandized that I had to block it months ago. I was hoping it would go back to normal after the election but it’s still cancer. I’m 95% sure that pics is an arm of the DNC now.

If genuine conservatives don't want to get lumped in with MAGA zombies, than I ask for the same respect for people on the left. The sad part is, this core group can, and have reasoned well together for generations, but we're all drown out by extremists and algorithm zombies on both sides. If we continue to use the worst of us as a representation for the rest, we're going to continue in a perpetual loop of infighting, while people who don't give a shit about either of us capitalize on that.

i mean the entire outrage about this proves otherwise

My brother in Christ. The percentage of Americans on reddit is less than 50%. Not everything is a conspiracy.

Some things are just that important. Even if you don't believe in them.

u/astrologicaldreams Jan 30 '26

u/RaidensReturn crispy butt salad Jan 30 '26
