I'm permanently banned from Reddit. I don't like Lemmy nearly as much, but it's probably just that I'm less familiar and haven't figured it all out. Finding subs that I liked in Reddit was much easier, but there's the obvious moderator issues with Reddit - mainly that I'm banned.

i agree, my ban is also a clear example of their bad moderation ong 🙏

Yep.

discover I'm banned from a sub, given no notice of the ban, broke no rules

message mods to ask why, receive no response

ok, whatever, I'll just use another account to continue participating but be damn sure I only have positive comments from now on

permabanned for ban evasion

I don't get the problem with being banned. I used to create a new reddit account when I thought of a new username I liked. DGAF about karma so I just threw accounts away. On one occasion I did get banned and just created a new account, no big deal. If you want to go back just go back.

They ip ban you if you do that because they consider it ban evasion I believe

If you turn your internet router off and on, it should be assigned a new IP address by your ISP. That's how mine works anyway. This is why dynamic DNS services exist, so you can host things at home even though you don't have a static IP address.

They'll still identify your device with many other data points available to them. Or at least they seem to be with me, even with VPNs and alternate browsers.

My modem doesn't get a new external IP on reboot, either. None of mine ever have, that I can recall
