It's likely tracking cookies from another website they are using.

For example Google.

I have the same issue with Reddit. I can create an account on a different email and use it fine for a few days and then boom. But I stopped using it on anything I am logged into my Google account with and it's been fine for months.

What do you access Github on? I would create a separate user profile for work. Do not log into any services such as Google on it that Github have linked to you and you should be fine.

REddit is crazy. Every thread is filled with [deleted] talking to [deleted]. It seems like most of the throwaway posters get passes, the one posting <= 3 word replies. But all the top well thought out multi paragraph conversations all end up happening between deleted users.

Fortunately there's the Pushshift archive, which mitigates that somewhat - replace "reddit.com" in the URL with "unddit.com" or "reveddit.com", these sites will fill in removed comments from this archive.

If you have iOS for Reddit. Check out the traffic and data Reddit collects. Reddit is using blockchain to fingerprint everyone now.

It's crazy, I got banned from a silly subreddit for not really doing anything wrong but fair enough, it's one where the mods are known to be like that.

I have a different account that I use on a work computer, I ended up posting in that same subreddit without realising my original account was banned (hadn't logged into it and noticed that was the case)

Reddit Perm banned both accounts for ban evasion and for awhile any other account I made, even though i did nothing wrong or didn't post on that subreddit again, until I made sure to use completely clean profiles whenever I want to use reddit.

Annoying.

Similar thing happened to me after forgetting my mobile device was logged into the wrong Wi-Fi network, they permabanned two unrelated accounts as well that I used for completely different purposes. I appealed and got one back that I use to post on a gaming subreddit, but not the other that I used to post on a subreddit for a medical condition. Very strange, and irritating.

You have been fingerprinted. Look into digital fingerprint. Google and Reddit work together to guarantee you are censored.

Nowadays. The comments on Reddit are GPT3. No real users comment anymore. Next year. This will be an issue. Now, it’s just a experiment Reddit is running before IPO.
