I think Reddit is tracking my phone?

4 pointsby rentzed3 yıl önce8 comments

I got permabanned from Reddit on my Android Google Pixel phone and whenever I would create a new account it would instantly get banned.

I tried reinstalling the app but it still banned my new account. I'm not familiar with App Development so I was curious to see if anyone could explain to me how they are tracking me and if I can do anything to get rid of it.

While on the topic of app development, I heard that apps can track more things about the user. For instance, there are ways an app can identify the IP of a user even if they are using a VPN but a website is unable to. Would appreciate if anyone could clear that up for me. Thanks

Yeah, it's just fingerprinting.

^^ They're probably fingerprinting based on some device specific info. Try a different client or a different device.

Why did you get permabanned?

rentzed3 yıl önce

A subreddit permabanned me for not following the 90/10 rule where only 10% of my content can be self-promotional.

I then tried to get back on the subreddit with another account that was following the rules. I got caught and got temporary ban from Reddit.

I then used another alt account on different subreddits but got caught and am now permabanned from Reddit.

You can try RedReader from F-Droid.

Do you know if there is something like this but for TikTok, IG, YouTube, and Twitter?

For YouTube, I definitely recommend NewPipe.
