    Isn’t it trivial anyway, since you can still create unlimited anonymous accounts via old.reddit?

    wait, you can do that? does it check IP?

      Yes but IP is less useful nowadays as a way to identify users. VPNs are commonplace now, everyone has at least two or three IPs (their home, their mobile, their work/school), more than one person can be using the platform in the same place, etc.

      Not to say they don’t pay attention to that but it’s not enough on it’s own.

      It checks IP for things like you trying to boost your own posts. Beyond that it’s fine.
