No freedom of speech against government agencies in social network. This is against constitutional rights. The USA government adds more negative karma to itself each day.

News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

If only karma worked like that.
Well, it very well may work like that, we're still feeling things out
if bad things happened to bad people, Donald Trump wouldn't have ever gone further than "bit part in Home Alone 2" before ending up in prison. Karma is a comforting fairytale the aggrieved tell themselves to cope with an unjust world.
Actual karma (as in the religous concept of eastern faith and mythology) does not play out until the person is dead though. When it will (acording to the belief) affect what or whom the person will be reborn as.
I do still agree that it is mostly a way to cope with an unjust world though, but a belief that should do more good than bad, however i can also see how it might encourage inaction towards bad actors; and ofcourse what constitutes a bad action is dependent on other morals that might be considered contridictory by others.

I just entered a fake email and it let me read the whole thing. If fuck@you.com actually goes anywhere then I apologise to them for the extra spam.
What does reddit know other than an email?
Given how much our online behaviour is mined and catalogued, that might easily be enough
With browser fingerprinting and data brokers we should assume that any website we visit has enough information to lead an interested party to our real identity, even if you hide your IP address. Add to that AI analysis of your writing style, the times when you post, the profile of your interest in various subreddits, and any clues you let slip in your comments. If they want to find you and you didn't take special steps to disguise yourself, they won't have much trouble.
Ip address, I'd assume.
Probably fingerprint.
IP address. If you also don’t have a hardened browser, fingerprinting and cross-site cookies can help gather more info to identify you. If they were using the official mobile app, then it has likely access to a lot of identifying information on their phone as well.
But that would require them to admit they collect that stuff. Presumably they could deny that they track it and then it doesn't matter what the cops ask for?
Did Reddit finally start forcing you to use an email to sign up?
Yeah in recent years

I have The Intercept set to automatically open in Reader mode in iOS/Safari which bypasses the login requirement. I’m sure other OSes/browsers have similar features.
Good call! Thank you very much for sharing it with us. :)
Yes, Firefox, Chrome and Edge have reader mode, too.
Works in chrome too
