I used the same email haha
I wasn’t trying to hide or break rules, I was just changing my name because the old one was cringey 😅

I’m sure they do have loads of ways to detect alts though, it’s a pretty interesting field security wise.

Pissed off a mod on a large sub, got banned for “ban evasion” (I only had 1 account)
Later learned I could get rid of the name I picked when I was 12 by deleting and remaking my account.
months later I accidentally commented in that large sub something totally innocent and got automatically permabanned from ALL of reddit. Appeal got denied instantly too

you can’t even poke fun at selfhosted people anymore because someone WILL 100% spend 48 hours straight 3d printing and programming a toothbrush
