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 last created an account using temp-mail to comment on a post in my local sub, but then I found out they were no longer publishing comments from brand new accounts which resulted in me deleting that account and limiting my view of the local sub.

    -Also, if you have Mullvad, then you’re going to get tired of switching servers real fast just to access reddit. I would bet less than 1-in-10 servers is unblocked on reddit and it typically doesn’t remain unblocked for more than 24-48 hours. -Just don’t post on Reddit. It’s become an outdated platform anyway.

      I use Mullvad too and I have the exact same experience with having to keep switching servers until I am able to access the website. For some reason though RedReader does not appear to be affected by this. I guess they must be treating it differently since it is using the API. RedReader was one of the very few third-party clients that was spared during the APIcalypse.
