I’m not sure how they do it exactly, but Reddit is evidently really good at detecting alts. Not necessarily by IP# or common information across accounts, but by… well I don’t know, some deep algorithms or something?
Reddit still has use to me, and there are one or two communities in which I have roots and a relationship with the mods, etc. I’d really rather not mess around with that or risk getting in to an ‘account war’ with Reddit over alts. At least at this time…
They also use browser fingerprinting, session information, and geolocation, powered by generative AI. IP can easily be cycled in most ISPs, so they’d end up hurting themselves if they just used that.

Shoot… some of that stuff I should be able to block via my U-matrix extension. Would just need to play around with the javascripts, I guess.
