They use device ID (primarily MAC address. AFAIK) bans rather than IP bans. I know this for 2 reasons:

  • My wife hasn't been banned despite using the same wifi.

  • If I create a new account and use reddit on my phone it will get banned within hours, but I have am account I only use on my laptop that's just fine.

If you really want to go back you can use a different device or do something to spoof your MAC address. That said, fuck em.

Will using my other phone work? And how can I spoof it if I need to ?

Using your other phone should work. I haven't really looked up methods of spoofing MAC addresses on phones, but I'm sure it's fairly easy.

You could also use a VPN to hide your "digital identity", but that tends to slow your connection speed

I've got a feeling that if things get too heated reddit will eventually remove any moderators protesting and replace em with someone who's complicit.

Why would you want to return if they’re willing to go as far as this just because you shared simple feedback?

Probably a glitch in the system I imagine. There’s a tonne of people leaving negative feedback at the moment, if Reddit IP banned everyone there wouldn’t be any Reddit left.

They might have blocked your ip. Change the device from which you are trying to access reddit

Reddit really does have 0 respect for the users that it owes its entire existence to.

You might be shadowbanned. There’s a sub where you can ask. Although you’re getting banned on new signups too. That’s bizarre. There’s a way to file a support ticket but they’re probably being slammed right now.

Ah yes, only Reddit has the audacity to casually “shadow ban” users and give 0 shits about it.
