Thanks; I think the same has been happening to me. It doesn't make sense that my pwd manager or I screw up only when handling a few reddit passwords. Maybe I can get back in to my accounts (also compartmentalizing a few interests that reddit doesn't deserve to correlate and track). The particular accounts I am having trouble with were created and now used on the clearnet with a vpn. I still use uMatrix and hope I can remember/find how to shut down javascript to get logged in again.

It's been awhile, but you reminded me to try switching back to "new" (dog shit) reddit to get logged in over Tor. From memory, it might also help during signup. I agree, reddit is a really shitty hassle to use and maintain some basic privacy. What's the best way for one to track the development of increasing, sustaining traffic and new subs at Ramble (grouped list of all f/subRamble's with traffic stats)?

@takeheart, If I understand you correctly, you suggest that one should create a reddit account using Tor and only ever use the account with Tor for privacy and anonymity. At the other end of the spectrum, any two or more accounts on the clearnet without a vpn can be easily associated together and with the IP. A vpn would protect the IP somewhat, but traffic correlation from the vpn servers can link separate accounts, and the user is often de-anonymized.

Would it be helpful to make a subRamble and share some throwaway reddit accounts with passwords to fuzz-up reddit's data? Sometimes it's nice to have option to make a quick comment, answer, or question that doesn't merit reddit's invasive registration and tracking. We could make a group for Tor accounts and maybe another group for vpn accounts.

Please don't put such filth in my mouth, I'm against using spynet at all. Reddit actively fights shared accounts and their users http://bugmenot.com/view/reddit.com because it wants to sell your ass to all of it's spynet affiliates. It endorses censorship to make user-made content more appealing for ad companies that will exploit said users. Reddit together with jewkipedia was shilling covais bullshit and censoring truth. So all these old-new-tor-vpn are not solutions, like plastic-silver-gold spoon to eat shit with it. If for some reason you absolutely have to eat shit (your choice), then tor-made account from tor-only is the most hygienic way. Just don't confuse yourself with this fuzz-up strategy: your activity inside walled garden does not deter intellectual rape and tracking, it just produces more activity which attracts further rape victims. Please put your efforts into promoting free environments instead.
