You cannot access reddit without either an account, or turning off your VPN. Effectively meaning that it’s difficult to access reddit privately, as they can either track you with IP or with account.
Even alternative frontends like RDX for reddit by @overdevs@lemmy.world don’t solve this issue.
I can’t believe more people haven’t left because of that.
Yes apparent the app gives them even more info, like you device id , components, Mac address, and it has a anti-vpn measure built in, unlike the browsers
I got like five accounts banned before I figured it out
