I sadly kinda need Reddit because it's the only place where I can talk to other Turkish LGBTQ+ people, and I need my account to be anonymous because of the recent developments in Turkey, where the majority government is about to propose a bill that will literally make publicly identifying as LGBTQ illegal.

Any comment I make in my current account just shows up as [removed] and my account doesn't even show up in redlib like it doesn't even exist. Can't send any DMs either, it just gives me a very vague error.

The way I first signed up was pretty suspicious tbh (Mullvad VPN + Browser and cock.li e-mail address). Is there a better way I could do this without sharing any PII?

I use Mullvad too and I have the exact same experience with having to keep switching servers until I am able to access the website. For some reason though RedReader does not appear to be affected by this. I guess they must be treating it differently since it is using the API. RedReader was one of the very few third-party clients that was spared during the APIcalypse.
