So my username on reddit was u/IAmUser1234567 I had 17k+ Karma, i didn’t do anything they just banned my account. Now i guess they have created a digital fingerprint or marked my ip address, because if i create a new account it gets banned almost instantly.

I am loving lemmy(using Voyager on my android phone) so much. Reddit anyways now just contains shity cringe content, it is becoming like insta, I am happy to join lemmy family :)

    There’s that and they can fingerprint by the monitor size too. Combining that with the headers your browser sends helps a lot. It’s easier on mobile though because everybody has more different kinds of display sizes

        Probably not from that alone but by referencing it to the subs you visit, yeah that one would be a little less common. 👍
