Here is the brief history.

  1. VPN fired up, opened Tor browser a month or two ago
  2. Created burner email account via Tor Browser
  3. Used burner email to open a new Gab.com account (also via Tor Browser)
  4. Posted a lot of JQ facts, got a bunch of followers etc, only using Tor Browser
  5. Made a reply about HT possibly being controlled opposition, immediately blocked by the OP and gang raped by HT groupies
  6. Next morning: I can log in, but I can't post. Everything is a "403 status" when I try to post or comment.

New tor circuits don't fix it (I've tried at least 100 times). No changes to my Tor version or anything else. I guess I'm banned from Gab.

The timing is suspicious.

Edit: so I figured it out. They started blocking Tor exit nodes for comments and reactions. The account wasn't shadow banned.

Enlighten me on how connecting to a good VPN and then to Tor using their browser isn't protecting me from device fingerprinting, considering that Tor browser is already configured in a way that the fingerprint is identical to every other Tor browser lol.

I don't doubt you understand the concept of fingerprinting. But you do not understand how deep that rabbit hole ACTUALLY goes... At least not based on your previous comments.

Fingerprinting is the devil's work. New Voat fingerprints users machines. "Allow canvas" popups when visiting the site show up once in a while.

Because all connecting to a VPN and Tor does is obfuscate your IP. It has nothing at all to do with fingerprinting lol.

Tor browser does more than obfuscate your IP.

I'm not saying "I know more about it, I'm immune."

I'm saying "You should look into it more. NO ONE is immune."
