i had a 11+year old acct, whom i stopped using like 7 years ago, it was ban, because one of my throwaways had a temp ban, so reddit decided to look at any of your accts that are connected by device or ip, that was involved in ban evasion, and just ban all of them regardless, they usually only ban future accounts, but they banned all acct because a temp ban triggered it. the oldest acct is the one that dint get banned, for some reason.
from what ive gathered they look at your IP address, your device (if you use the reddit app it gives them even more info on your device, your browser fingerprint seems to be important, they also use captcha v3, which is more advanced than V2, which records your site activities, cookies, posting and commenting behavior, of course ban evasion too. Also they compare your “bot activity” to other bot activity and just ban you.
