I sadly kinda need Reddit because it’s the only place where I can talk to other Turkish LGBTQ+ people, and I need my account to be anonymous because of the recent developments in Turkey, where the majority government is about to propose a bill that will literally make publicly identifying as LGBTQ illegal.
Any comment I make in my current account just shows up as [removed] and my account doesn’t even show up in redlib like it doesn’t even exist. Can’t send any DMs either, it just gives me a very vague error.
The way I first signed up was pretty suspicious tbh (Mullvad VPN + Browser and cock.li e-mail address). Is there a better way I could do this without sharing any PII?
I saw a few listings on XMRBazaar. Just search for “reddit” and you will find several. XMRBazaar itself is trustworthy but I cannot vouch for any of the sellers. Think of it kind of like Craigslist for Monero.
There are some pretty cheap listings, some even having escrow. I think I’ll go with this if I can’t find another solution. Thank you!
An aged account is not even a panacea. I had a reddit account of many years that I haven’t logged into for the last two. I check online, it still exists, in good standing. I login one time, post one helpful comment (through a VPN of course, same as I always did), try to log in the next day to check replies - login error. Check through a third party - account page no longer even exists. All comments completely wiped. Thanks reddit! Saved me the trouble of deleting my account manually.
They def do that. I think what happens is, you make the account in year X when their anti-bot rules are laxer. Act hangs around, works fine. Then more stricter rules roll out in year X+5 or w/e. You login again in year X+5, suddenly you’re violating the new checks. Boom, sudden ban.
The fuckers. I get that services have to fight abuse. And that’s getting harder b/c of AI bots. And political influence campaigns and shit. But the colateral damage is HUGE. Ppl like you are getting caught in the crossfire.
