Having more than one account isn't against Reddit's ToS.
If you use your different accounts in different subreddits and never have your accounts interact, you won't be banned.
- throwaway27448 6mo agoSure but the background chances of an account getting banned for clashing with a mod is quite high.
- user34283 6mo agoIf you don't restrict each account to specific subreddits, it's quite likely that one will get banned somewhere without you noticing or remembering. If you happen to post to the same subreddit with another account at some point, Reddit bans all of your accounts.
- AdvancedCarrot 6mo agoAnecdotal but I've noticed Reddit has gotten very ban happy in general in the past year. I actually gave up using it because, perhaps in part because I'm behind a VPN (required in my country), any new accounts I create get banned very quickly once I start commenting.
- pocksuppet 6mo agoI haven't been able to create a Reddit account by any method in years. It always happens in one of two ways: you create an account and instantly get the red banner at the top of the page saying you're banned, or you create an account, post a few comments, notice nobody's replying to you, try loading your profile page in private browsing and it says you don't exist (a shadow ban). There's nothing of much value on that website, but sometimes I try creating an account to comment on something.
- staticman2 6mo agoI've definitely posted to the same subreddit with two different accounts by accident without being banned. The android reddit app annoyingly doesn't check for account matches. If you click a browser notification link on Account A it can open a reply form on App account B.
- user34283 6mo agoI meant if one of the accounts is already banned there, it counts as ban evasion and Reddit bans all of your accounts. This might easily happen if you like to participate in political discussions.
- kshacker 6mo agoIn hindsight, I understand. But I did this 6-7 years back and no one has come after me, should I care at this point?
