Okay, I'm not gonna advocate for using Reddit.
But if you really want to, heres how:
You gotta stop using VPN/Tor for mainstream "social media" sites, since they'd just ban you on sight. They really hate IP addresses from VPNs/Tor. Also don't use apps, use browser only, make sure all browsing data is cleared, preferably use chrome since they hate firefox for some reason, use desktop mode if they keep nagging you about the app, and old.reddit.com still works.
If you use browser, theres no way (besides using an illegal exploit), for the site to know your device ID / MAC addresses. Getting a new device is not necessary.
If you want to bypass the IP ban. Use mobile data. Turn off data, wait a minute, turn back on, you should have a new IP. If not, then turn off your phone for 10 minutes before turning back on. Some home internet also give new IP if you turn off modem for a while, but in my experience, I never got a new IP from powering off the modem, mot even for a few hours, so your best bet is use mobile data (hopefully you can afford a unlimited data plan).
OR alternatively, ask your ISP to give you a new IP.
And yes, it would be your real IP, but these sites basically force you to use your real IP anyways.
Then create a new email address, don't use throwaway emails, use an actual email provider (Google, Outlook, etc, I doubt they like Protonmail addresses, so just stick with the mainstream providers).
You should be able to make a new account.
TLDR: You gotta make your traffic look "normal" to them. Use your real IP (after obtaining a new IP that has never been banned before), use mainstream browsers and in desktop mode, use old.reddit.com if you face issues. Use mainstream emails to sign up.
Btw, mainstream social media has too many bots, are you sure you want to go there?
Well its your choice. Good luck.
