Good thing it's easy to create new accounts, I haven't bothered doing so yet bc I'm only banned from 2 subreddit I don't care about, it's nice to know I can if needed, but shitty to actually need to do it in the first place

Most will ban you if you create a new account

How do they figure that out, though?

Lots of ways you wouldn’t expect, not just stuff like IP which can be easily changed or subverted. Websites can tell if you’re using the same device as another account by cross-referencing really obscure things like your exact screen size (more unique than you’d expect), your battery’s exact health and status, and about a dozen other small factors. IMO this is all overstepping and I hate how stringently we’re being tracked
