How does reddit track you? (lemmy.ml)

Soooo. I was banned for telling a extreme right wing dickhead that he was an asshole. Yeah I shouldn't have but whatever. (yes I've appealed it and failed)

Now all my sub accounts are also banned.

Is the only way to evade the ban to dodge your online fingerprint? (new phone, new email, new ph number. Etc)

I read it's just IP based but my flat has 3 others that use reddit daily and they are fine so surely it's device ID and email linked to device. Etc

Sorry to ask here guys but it's wracking my brain.

Yeah I got on the other day on my 2ndary account. It's banned now too.

I literally haven't commented about anything with it except a game walk through.

First account banned for listing maga trolls who sent me death threats for banning them from my small city sub.

Reddit says it was doxing. Not sure how.

Anyway. On reddit info it says it uses IP , screen resolution, and device numbers.

So I change my IP all the time

And I recently moved and at the same time got a new PC cause my old one died.

So I was using this 2ndary account on new IP, new PC, new city.

And some how they still flagged it.

So that means something else is going on.
