They didn’t use to be that way. I went a decade with no bans or warnings, but the last years got crazy. It fell completely apart after Trump was inaugurated.
I’ve tried to evade the ban, but they catch up to you eventually. I got a new phone, ditched all the Reddit cookies, signed up on a different network in another state, with a new email, etc…
At first, it took them a few weeks to find me, and they quickly went from a 3 day ban, to a week long ban, to a permanent ban, in quick succession. Then I’d have to do it all over again. The send time took them about a week. The third time took a few days.
The final time, I went to all the trouble, and I was permabanned before I finished my first post. They got my number, they’re watching out for me. I’m a Reddit Outlaw, and I couldn’t be prouder.
