Holy hell Reddit is invasive. Got banned a few years ago. Went to make a new account and within a day it was banned. New email, new computer… how the hell do they have way too much information on you? It’s actually kinda scary how insidious those fuckers are.

    The answer is Google.

    Reddit has the Google login integration and advertiser id.

    Your Gmail account and Google advertising id has de-anonymized you

      Thank you for actually answering the question. The rest of these kids sound like they belong on Reddit.

          Yeah, it’s the “other people” at fault here, and not the OP telling people to kill themselves because he didn’t like their reply

            Well I’m not monitoring their behaviour either, I just wish people could have a little more empathy.

            Times are tough for everyone.

            Often people giving you a hard time are HAVING a hard time. It’s not an excuse, it’s just unfortunate

        There aren’t any Reditors around here. It’s the Fediverse.

        No more infinite cascading inane reply chains any more thankfully.

        Ip bans may not be a thing, but IP reputation absolutely is. Just because you change your public address there is a good chance you will be allocated on in the same block and also get it reallocated back to you in the future.

        With CGN being such a big thing in countries exhausting their V4 address space restarting your router may not switch your public address

          In 13 years and 47 accounts there, i haven’t had a single ip ban, its a cookie they set and if you use the stupid ass “app” they use the Device ID, other than that they use Google and Appstore verification of some sort (basically the Google/Apple Account is bound to your reddit app and to all accounts you use the app with)

      Banned IP for me. I made a lot of throw-away accounts to answer simple questions and most where shadowbanned (maybe because I was using a VPN).

          100% this. OP went right back in with the same pudgey 4chan frequenter bullshit that got them banned last time, got banned, and is now over here crying about it. What a loser.

    Interestingly I used to mod a subreddit, which shut down when the third party app controversy came to light in protest. I went to see if it ever reopened, and it’s no longer even in existence as a Google search result. Just gone.
