The first 6-12 months here (during/right after the Reddit API drama) were great. After that....not so much.

I've been perma-banned from reddit a bunch and I eventually just got tired of making new accounts lol.

heheh they use some kind of fingerprinting, a combination of your OS, ISP IP, and browser. At some point you can't keep creating new accounts.

Funny thing is, I'm pretty sure I used an encrypted email to make my last account

All your encrypted email does is make it hard for someone to read your email. It doesn't stop all the metadata.

Ah, thanks for clarifying, if you can't tell I'm not particularly tech savvy
