    Lol if you think they need you to sign in to “keep tabs on you”. The stated purpose of having to have a registered email and being logged in to view a quarantined sub is to starve it of oxygen and the light of day, to make it harder to discover organically, to keep people from viewing and engaging with it, to protect them from the horrible communist ideology.

    Use a throw-away email account or one registered with a Russian company like yandex if you think it matters (it doesn’t to the national security state tracking you but it’s worth not using your main email anyways for infosec reasons to prevent easy linking and compromise by say channer fascists with too much time and a database dump).

    I’d also say if you aren’t using old reddit it’s pretty easy for them to track you across reddit anyways, it is on old reddit too but easier on new reddit.

    In fact I’ve been having a problem with being repeatedly (every time I close my browser) signed out of my main reddit account. Strangely when I sign into another reddit account that isn’t subbed to communist subs it stays logged in just fine. I do admittedly block their new (since the reddit place reboot) datadome third party anti-botting platform by preventing its javascript from running but they don’t care about that on any accounts but my communist one so clearly they’re convinced I’m a Russian/Chinese bot and want to throw that in my way.
