That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

Wait so if I VM'ed it would likely trip off the behavioral analysis as I would blank out my history in every instance? Also probably the device finger print?
The world is getting Draconian.
Not in every instance, but a completely blank slate aka no browser ID and a new device fingerprint would be suspicious on it's own. While it wouldn't link it back to your old users, at least initially as the machine algorithm doesn't have enough data yet. Doing anything that doesn't really fit into a profile of a new user, will get you shadowbanned, but the appealing process for that doesn't work. Artificial ageing could work as the detection algorithms ramp down after some time.
Yeah they have really ramped up detection and banning with new machine algorithms, starting somewhere late last year or beginning of this year.
Though there aren't any official documents on how exactly it's done, for obvious reasons thats kept as a secret. It's mostly collated by user reports who have trial and error it to try to bypass detection and lots of googling and moderators reports.
So if you're really bored you can try to refine it even more. Make a VM, create a fake history on it, make a reddit user, leave it marinate for few months, slowly start to interact and see what happens then. Just report back.
This makes sense and I like to write and have been on reddit well before the Digg exodus I can seeing that throwing up red flags
Again this makes sense, also old references like Aaron\the ratio (and I think it was in play as I made a recent comment on him) would label me an old fag.
They started nuking all my accounts w/ no email, so I went Protos. They are working w/ reddit as they nuked one of my new emails w/ they need my state ID or its not usable. This is after I made a reddit account around about 20m before.
Well if I can figure out a way to sink their ship I would keep those cards close to the chest.
I'll try the VM next, I'll piggy back on another wifi network to see if I can get it to fly. Or I'll take the VMs on the road, old school WARDRIVING.
Good luck, just report back later. Kinda curious as well.
It will take a minute, I need to get some fresh PC from my old job. Then I need to build a proper test environment I don't self sabotage by accident.
Also the digital finger print stuff, idk even know where to start.

Found a nice blog showing leaked information about Reddit spam filters. Might be helpful.
Whoa! Thats a ton of great information, thank you!
Take your time, no rush.
VM or a different machine should already eliminate device fingerprint and as long as you don't log in with any of your existing accounts to the new machines browser. Then there's no history or cookies to carry over either. Obviously avoiding local network as well or at least masking it. At that point from Reddit perspective, you are just like a brand new person joining.
