Probably 1/2 of the users on this platform are here as a protest against Reddit. Either the API stuff, or the admins nuking your account, or the mods being... goofy. Or the users, or who knows what.

What's your story?

I'm just not buying across millions of users, there exists a combination of ethical pattern matching (e.g. subs, comment patterns, online timing, etc). to reliably identify a single human behind multiple accounts. We're not that unique.

It's 100% IP and cookie based. Each of which can be circumvented without too much issue.

    Browser fingerprinting however is not easy to circumvent.

    You can generally fool them by just changing one or two variables like GPU acceleration.

    Or, change browsers.

    some forks have anti-fingerprinting, but they have ways of detecting things like device components. they are pretty much catching onto anti-detect browsers, and ip switching methods(cost money) that isnt a vpn.
