New account lasted 19 days. Time to make another one. I will never stop fighting the libtards and trannies.

Theory and practice are wildly different. Reddit only uses IP and cookies. The fact that my new accounts don't get flagged is proof of that.
You wouldn't know if they flagged the account, because the fingerprinting isn't perfect. So they might be flagging your new account "1 strike" for instance and then ban over the slightest thing. (something tame like this post for instance).
Yes I do, because I've done it wrong before and had my new account immediately shadowbanned and/or actually banned.
No, they would not behave that way. They'd ban you immediately for ban evasion.
If you still have a reddit cookie so they know for 100% sure then they'll block your new account right off.
Fingerprinting will be like say 95% certain your new account is ban evasion. Are they going to just entirely ignore that signal? Or tell 1 in 20 new users that might stick around a long time and contribute to fuck off for ban evasion? What would you do with that information?
