You cannot access reddit without either an account, or turning off your VPN. Effectively meaning that it’s difficult to access reddit privately, as they can either track you with IP or with account.

Even alternative frontends like RDX for reddit by @[email protected] don’t solve this issue.

I can’t believe more people haven’t left because of that.

    I think they’re either using google data to link email accounts to phone numbers or using an NLP model to identify users by how they write in the vans.

    I hot banned on accounts tied to email addresses I haven’t used in years, logged in from a vpn. Like. 5 email addresses. Many accounts on the email addresses hadn’t been used in years. The only things linking them were a phone number I used for 2fa on google.
