Haha don't bother, and I don't think it's the mods who are doing it. Pretty sure it's an automated process. With millions of users and a constant stream of bots and banned users trying to circumvent the rules, I doubt anyone has time to do it manually.

Sounds like Reddit wants you to just use Lemmy instead :)

Have you paired it with the same email address? Have you made the account from a PC or from the app?

I would try the following. Call your ISP and ask them to change your IP address, use a new, different browser that has no cookies or cache or whatever, and then make the new account. That worked for me. If you wanna get really paranoid about it maybe also look into spoofing your m.a.c. address. If that fails then I can't even imagine how they would be flagging the new accounts

Browser fingerprinting is a thing (identifying someone by their browser's configuration and fonts, amongst other things), but I don't see them using that for bans honestly.

Probably not but I wanted to be thorough as I had been flagged when making accounts from different IP addresses as well.
