    I haven't posted to that site in years so I'm out of the loop with how their anti-spam/shadowbanning works. There's a community I want to post in which basically only exists there and Discord.

    (Worst case, I can visit a shop and use their WiFi, this isn't Top Secret or anything, but would be nice if I didn't have to.)

      Get a VPN using cash/XMR (Mullvad/IVPN), and then either use them directly or over TOR to create the account.

        Yes, they allow registration while connected to VPNs.

          You can, but you may have to bounce around servers a bit to find one that works. I’ve had good luck with servers in Norway (not 100%, but better than other countries).

            Mullvad and IPVN has too few servers, its very likely all their IPs would already have been flagged. ProtonVPN has like 10,000 servers. (The CEO Controversy aside, it's OP's best bet for an IP that isn't banned) ProtonVPN also accepts Cash.

              Works. I mentioned those two since they seem to have the best privacy policy

                You can. I did it. I even used temporary emails since I fucking hate Reddit. I deleted all my reddit accounts. Going forward I am thinking of using my 'real' email only in very few select applications and pretty much throwaway emails on everything else.

                  You can set a cookie with any of the tamper monkey type plugins and the “ban” goes away. Not sure if they ban in another manner for account creation, but you can browse not logged in, etc.

                    I recently signed up for an account on a VPN with a throwaway address, as usual—I torch my account every few months and start a new one—and was almost instantly shadowbanned. This may have been due to other factors, though...like the fact I posted a question in the mason bees sub? 😄
