EDIT: @mindbleach@sh.itjust.works shared something that might help to circumvent this shit:

Contained in these parentheses is a zero-width joiner: (​)

Basically, add those to whatever you feel that might be filtered out, then remove the parentheses. The content inside the parentheses is invisible, but it screws with regex rules.

Got shadow banned years ago for sharing the link to the εxodus privacy analysis of the Reddit app. There is a reason why they keep trying to pressure their users to use their app. It's farming their personal data.

Can you link it here? I've never heard of this analysis

"Send Local IP, device_fingerprint_id, identity_id, hardware_id, brand, model, screen_dpi, screen_height and other

Increase mobile revenue with enterprise-grade links built to acquire, engage, and measure across all devices, channels, and platforms."

Branch analytics seems severely invasive of your privacy. I have always used infinity for Reddit. It's maybe not as bad as this. I looked it up and it does have a tracker but not this one. Damn!

a dedicated anti-detect browsers eliminates reddit from identifying you, for the most part(plus if you use proxies as well)
