    If only karma worked like that.

    if bad things happened to bad people, Donald Trump wouldn't have ever gone further than "bit part in Home Alone 2" before ending up in prison. Karma is a comforting fairytale the aggrieved tell themselves to cope with an unjust world.

    Actual karma (as in the religous concept of eastern faith and mythology) does not play out until the person is dead though. When it will (acording to the belief) affect what or whom the person will be reborn as.

    I do still agree that it is mostly a way to cope with an unjust world though, but a belief that should do more good than bad, however i can also see how it might encourage inaction towards bad actors; and ofcourse what constitutes a bad action is dependent on other morals that might be considered contridictory by others.

    I just entered a fake email and it let me read the whole thing. If fuck@you.com actually goes anywhere then I apologise to them for the extra spam.

    What does reddit know other than an email?

    With browser fingerprinting and data brokers we should assume that any website we visit has enough information to lead an interested party to our real identity, even if you hide your IP address. Add to that AI analysis of your writing style, the times when you post, the profile of your interest in various subreddits, and any clues you let slip in your comments. If they want to find you and you didn't take special steps to disguise yourself, they won't have much trouble.

    IP address. If you also don’t have a hardened browser, fingerprinting and cross-site cookies can help gather more info to identify you. If they were using the official mobile app, then it has likely access to a lot of identifying information on their phone as well.

    I have The Intercept set to automatically open in Reader mode in iOS/Safari which bypasses the login requirement. I’m sure other OSes/browsers have similar features.
