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?
Mullvad VPN is always enabled with lockdown mode on my PC and my phone, I’m supposing that they’ve shadowbanned me because I’m using a VPN. I also don’t think Reddit is going to keep my IP private from the government so that’s why I do not plan on creating an account without a VPN.
I guess I could go to a cafe and try signing up via public Wi-Fi, but most of those in my city require a phone number to connect to, so I’m currently trying to find a way to do this without searching for a cafe that doesn’t have such a requirement :(
Almost for sure.
It used to be possible to sign up like that. Now, you can sign up, but if you try to post, boom, shadowban.
I once had an account I used to answer some help request posts like computer stuff, how do I do this or that. I eventually noticed nobody ever replied to my posts. No upvotes. No downvotes. Nothing! So I looked without being signed in. Sure enuf, nobody but me could see anything I posted. I didn’t know that was a thing reddit did. I was genuinely trying to help ppl. I got shit on for it. Felt bad, man.
Can you buy a sim card from a tourist leaving the country and ask them for access to add funds to the account? Then have a “reddit only” phone?
No nedd to ask a tourist, we live in the age of anonymous esims
