I encountered some asshole saying Alex Pretti deserved to die because he was carrying a gun in the presence of law enforcement. I told him he wasn't just licking boots, he was deep throating them. That was "harassment," according to Reddit. And I was permabanned.

[–] WhoIzDisIz@lemmy.today 3 points 2 months ago* (3 children) It takes a desire to start away from Reddit - it's very easy to sign up again under another name. If you have Gmail (yes, I know - privacy - but it's fine for throwaway crap), all you have to do is add a plus sign & any gibberish you want to your email address. username@gmail.com ...becomes... username+redditaccount0001@gmail.com The stuff from the plus sign to the @ gets ignored by Gmail servers so it all gets sent to the first address still. Handy feature for a few oddball purposes since you can filter based upon it, although it's hit or miss whether any given site will accept such an address with a plus sign - last I knew, Reddit still did. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] KC_Royalz@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago No, they are able to track you across multiple devices and locations now.
