I only go on there nowadays for my city’s sub and r/nba. I logged on yesterday while I was on a vpn and found out today that my account as suspended due to “unusual activity”. I didn’t register an email when I created that account. Welp, bye bye to that account then.
I think they’re purging users, unsure what criteria they’re using
About a month ago I was also banned under unusual circumstances
Don’t even bother trying to make another account without appealing the first, the new account will get banned as well.
vpn recieves an autoban in most cases if you are on reddit, i think most social media has a anti-vpn policy on thier sites. additionally they were/or purging "botty/spammy " accounts like vpn, privacy browser users. also you would have also noticed most large subreddits have upped thier entry threshold as well into commenting the sub, its not an accident.
the methods they use to ban people is: browser canvassing, fingerprinting, Device ID and its compenents, IP address, they apparently can also detect IP from vpn and abused proxies too. captcha v3(which is what reddit uses to record your activity on the website), posting, and writing style. i was also banned, many of accs took a hit(the old ones).
