Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
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.

You are shit outta luck friend.
Same exact shit happened to me. Both my accounts got banned without warning. Some nonsense about "violation of TOS". I appealed asking what rule I broke and it was instantly declined.
I opened a new email on a new Internet source and made a fresh account. It got banned withing 30 minutes for "ban evasion". I literally do not know how they even know it's me. There was absolutely nothing that tied me to the old banned accounts. I used completely different information for everything and like I said a new Internet source as well as device.
They have your Internet fingerprint or whatever and you're cooked for good. Enjoy your new life with lots of free time or just doing it all into Lemmy.
Fuck reddit and their ban happy bots.
Yeah fingerprinting can isolate you pretty well. The whole ad/ marketing industry 'depends' on it. If you have webgl enabled you're fucked because they'll get a whole bunch of information on your monitors and gpu which is a good identifier even if two people have the same gpu. Apart from webgl, there are also tracking techniques with Javascript, invisible pixels, local storage, ip addresses, etc.
If you want to start protecting yourself a bit more then look into librewolf (a hardened Firefox fork) and turn off Javascript unless you explicitly allow it on a given site. There's more you can do but like i said this would be a "start"
i planning to create an account on librewolf to see what happens. how do you remove that on librewolf?
I think that's just a Firefox acct that uses firefox sync if you enable it. To remove it turn off sync and i imagine you can log out of the acct.
if your using the same IP or DEVICE they know its you, even with new accounts. i think my other accounts survived this long until the great purge in feb 12-13th, is i created most of them on a university computer lab, seperate from my home. wish i could go back to the university computer labs, but it would be awkward, although the school does allow general wifi usage for the public, but its extremely slow.
if you have nearby colleges with wifi that guests can access you can make acc that way.
