I was permabanned a while ago due to support of my boy Luigi for “inciting violence”.
Whatever. I tried getting around it the traditional ways (making new accounts with temporary emails, using VPNs) but was having no luck. They had beefed up the way they do permabans.
My question is: has anyone found a way to get around a permaban on reddit that works in 2025 without being silently banned? I’d need specific details. I’m hoping to access on iOS also but if it needs to be on PC that’s fine too.
I’m not going to appeal my ban since I don’t believe I did anything wrong but I do want to stick it to them by getting around their ban. Besides there are some communities I need to be able to ask questions in.
You must log in or # to comment.
I can answer this
- create a new email
- Clear your browser cache (all of it)
- get a VPN, turn it on
- sign up with a new account with the new email
They don’t perma ban IPs because IP addresses change, they do it for a few weeks at a time so you only need to keep this up for a couple weeks before you can just use it like normal.
You can’t – only way is to avoid all politically-charged subreddits. They’ll ban anyone using even remotely violent words to describe US current events, especially in large subs where US politics and news are discussed. You can’t even create a new account and use it immediately after a ban.
It’s really a chilling effect over there. I betcha they’re now using something new to supplant human moderators, and reactionaries are prowling the subs to flag anyone desecrating their idols.
new IP, new device, and different browser, especially one that either hides fingerprinting or scrambles it. also change your behavior from your previous bans, like spamming, engaging in controversial subs, writing style, maybe comment in a niche sub first, dont go to large subs right away.

if your using a new locaiton, your reddit usage might be limited, unless your using a new mobile device/ or device with new IP address.
I’m in the same boat, I did try and appeal but it went unanswered. It seems like a 9 month no use wait for the site before you can try and create a new account according to what I’ve read. Hopefully someone can give us some better ideas.
Delete your accounts. Best way to stick it to them. Leave and never go crawling back to corporate shitheads.
Why? Reddit is a cancer, let it die.
There is also no way when they go out of their way more than any other company to catch people who were banned. I don’t understand the sheer level of pettiness to do that.
You don’t. If they don’t want you, why stick around?
Like it or not they have a monopoly on the most active forum service. To the point where no other service is really useful when it comes to asking live questions and getting live answers for many different topics.
I actively want to destroy them for this. They are swallowing up the internet, so they gave me no choice. I will support Lemmy for this reason.
And it steals hours from your life.
If I need to go there, I use the LibRedirect extension. Read-only reddit is good enough for my needs.
