They IP ban, so a new account doesn’t work
Well they don't give out IP bans for just any old thing. Maybe stop posting the shit you posted to get yourself banned if you want to stay there? Just a thought.
They absolutely hand out bans like candy.
Apparently, some people don’t like the truth in blunt form
What is this truth you got banned for? Let everyone know
reddit's been less accepting of truth year over year for 16+ years
In this case, asking your provider to change your IP (some providers have options for that, for exaple mine change my IP whenever I restart the rooter), sharing the phone network (another network = another IP) or using a VPN (use an IP from the VPN server instead of yours) are potential solutions
(but yeah, banning an IP also means that nobody at your home will be able to access Reddit, that's not any kind of ban, be careful with your new account, don't do too much shit if you don't want to also loose it)
Vpn then
