  • Congratulations! Reddit is mostly terrible.

    If you want to participate in some niche communities I can understand wanting a new account. Most likely they’re tracing you through these things, with the first ones being more likely:

    • Email address (hopefully you’re using different ones but this is an easy way for them to associate accounts).

    • IP address.

    • Browser or phone fingerprinting.

    For your IP address you can just try to get a new one. Sometimes restarting your modem will do that. Ask Google what your IP address is before and after.

    For browser fingerprinting, I’d just clear the cache and that’s probably enough. Alternatively just use a different browser for Reddit for a while.

    For app fingerprinting that’s a bit harder and I’d say to just not use the official Reddit app if that’s what you were doing before.
