    Yes, thanks to moderators who abuse the system, and lazy admins who don’t hold them to account.

    Reddit uses fingerprinting techniques to track you across accounts. You need to look into defeating these tactics in order to successfully register (and keep) a new account.

    Change browser, block html canvas, change IP address, etc. Also time plays a factor. Leave it a couple of weeks.

    Or, recognise that Reddit has become completely overrun with shitposting bots and has little in the way of interesting content to offer these days, and move on.

      If this is true, they’re doing a terrible job at it. For my sins, I help moderate a small sub for the city I live in. I’m 99% sure there are one or two right wing assholes with multiple accounts but I can’t prove it.

      I’ve already been on Lemmy and learning its ins and outs since the reddit API debacle. Lemmy is not yet populated enough with good groups that cover all the topics I want, but everyone who wants to regain what Reddit used to be should join Lemmy because Reddit has burned themselves for good. It’s never gonna be anything but shit again.

      P.S. all of us should encourage others to do the same.
