I think I finally reached my breaking point with reddit (about time). Earlier this month the humorless admins of /r/teslamotors banned me for posting a video of my custom charge port cover. A day or so later I mistakenly posted on the sub using my secondary account. That’s on me. The /r/teslamotors admins gave me a permaban and reddit gave me 7 day site ban. I can take my lumps so whatever.

However, apparently I commented today on /r/teslamotors using the account that received the permaban. Dumbass reddit gave me another 7 day site ban for ban evasion. WTF? Either a software bug allowed me to comment or /r/teslamotors lifted my ban for some reason.

Neither of those constitute ban evasion IMHO. I’m also tired of using old.reddit.com in phone browser since they killed apis.

    There is no reason that the reddit client can’t get the MAC address and include that in a payload somewhere.

      Here’s one reason: access to MAC addresses is restricted to system apps since Android 6, since Android 11 it’s not available to third party apps at all

      Fine. Why would it? The device has a unique hardware ID that’s even easier/better for identifying the device. MAC addresses are randomized, and there’s at least 3 of them in any modern phone. Seems overly complicated and ineffective.
