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.

Changing networks doesn't work either.

Reddit is not God 🤣

What?

Reddit has many ways to detect evasion, including device ID. After a year, the chances of detection might be even lower.

I assumed they are just using some sort of algorithm to detect me based on how I use the website. I notice if I only post in subreddits I've never frequented before on topics I've never talked about before I can seem to avoid the block for a bit, but the moment I start posting again in my usual subreddits it's like something picks that up and recognizes it's me and then boots me.
