Is there any way to use reddit in the same device where I'm IP banned? (lemm.ee)

but I did log into my Google account

I did log into Windows 11 with my Microsoft account.

both google and microsoft are constantly slurping your data (including ip addresses and browser fingerprints) to sell to sites like reddit and they make a TON of money off it. i know for a fact that reddit buys google's analytics and that could explain whey it took a couple of days to catch up with you.

I don’t track every IP address I’ve ever used.

sites like reddit do keep track of your ip address via automated means and this is another way they can track you

There’s just WAY more content on Reddit that you can’t get on Lemmy.

is that content still worth it despite knowing that you're supporting the consent manufacturing that enables endless wars and genocides like the gazans or perpetuating the capitalist profit motives that makes things like housing and eggs so unaffordable for us?

i know that it seems like your contributions to this dystopian system feels negligible at most and likening reddit usage to it feels specious; but then again the drop of rain would never feel responsible for the flood if it could and, after all, it's only rain.
