Ik, I probably should not be lurking on Reddit anyways, but we are missing a lot of communities here. The only communities I can reliably follow and get quality content is this one and c/linux, c/privacy and some FOSS subs
But if I want something else, reddit is the only alternative. Now, I don’t want to give any more of my data and the government of India isn’t really known for it’s tolerance of free speech they don’t like, so, is there a way to create an account on reddit using tor which won’t be blocked as soon as it’s created.
I feel like giving a email account would make it work (I have seen it remove many hurdles while using reddit without tor) so, is there a email service that reddit doesn’t block which will make my reddit account created through tor as good as a normal reddit account.
PS: If I comment is posted then it will be visible on your profile, but it won’t be visible to anyone else on reddit. You can’t upvote. You are essentially a ghost, this can be very useful saving stuff and all, but without the ability to post, it isn’t that helpful. Reddit automatically blocks protonmail and tutanota mails :")
You can literally make a reddit account with random characters in an email format. For instance, [email protected] is considered valid, and since you don’t actually need to verify the email to use reddit, you’re good to just never care what you entered.
You’re never fully anonymous on the internet, ideally you can use a throwaway e-mail or no-email at all on reddit.
Not sure for Indian laws, but in general ISP have to keep logs of who was using which IP at which time, and websites need to store IP of their user for a while. All it takes is a court order to get both information and finds out who you are
You’re never fully anonymous on the internet
seriously? even when I use tor network? I mean, that’s the best hope out there. What about tails os, what do you think of it?
I have the perfect solution - rdx.overdevs.com
It’s mobile-friendly, and you can follow/subscribe without creating an account. You can also import a list of current subscriptions from your old reddit account using a .json file.
The only issue is that it’s read-only and you can’t create an account, post or upvote. But given the shitstorm that is the reddit admin team, i view this as a good thing!
not for this problem, but it’s very useful nonetheless. saving your comment and the site, thank you!
Ah i wasn’t sure if you just wanted to follow or participate. This solution allows you to follow but not participate
