Holy hell Reddit is invasive. Got banned a few years ago. Went to make a new account and within a day it was banned. New email, new computer… how the hell do they have way too much information on you? It’s actually kinda scary how insidious those fuckers are.

    The answer is Google.

    Reddit has the Google login integration and advertiser id.

    Your Gmail account and Google advertising id has de-anonymized you

      Thank you for actually answering the question. The rest of these kids sound like they belong on Reddit.

        There aren’t any Reditors around here. It’s the Fediverse.

        No more inane infinite cascading reply chains any more thankfully.
