- hrktb 6y agoThat can’t be accidental, can it ? Even imagining a bug in the registration code, you would at least go to a confirmation page before creation is commited.
- bzb6 6y agoIsn’t that technically impossible?
- WizardAustralis 6y agoIt seems very much intentional and it happens on the desktop as well. It isnt entirely consistent when it happens but it can take as little as a few minutes until it triggers the notification of account creation. It sees Google credentials and then auto creates an account that you can change the name on. I keep deleting them but reddit keeps making them. I just gave up and kept u/redditisastupidhead as my minor protest. It was the final straw, I now just avoid the place altogether. It is like having a preappreoved credit card turn up in the mail, it is trying to suck you in. No thanks!
