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 tried many times during the past year. SimpleLogin aliases with and without a custom domain, Mullvad and ProtonVPN, etc. No matter what I did I always ended up being shadow banned the moment I posted pretty much any comment. In the end I decided it just doesn’t worth my time.

    If you really have to, the only way that I think it would work reliably is buying an aged account that already has a bit of karma behind it for some XMR. Plenty people are selling them, but I am not gonna pay $30 for the privilege of using fucking Reddit.

      Thanks for the answer!

      Do you have a link for where you saw those? I’m also not paying 30USD for a Reddit account :D, but I wouldn’t mind paying a smaller amount.

        I saw a few listings on XMRBazaar. Just search for “reddit” and you will find several. XMRBazaar itself is trustworthy but I cannot vouch for any of the sellers. Think of it kind of like Craigslist for Monero.

          There are some pretty cheap listings, some even having escrow. I think I’ll go with this if I can’t find another solution. Thank you!
