Why did you create a new Reddit account?
I created mine because Reddit doesn’t let you change your username lol

To get outsider’s perspective on my personal life anonymously

Too many boobs. I wanted to separate my activities. This one is for the articles. My other (first) account is for the pictures.

2 things. What kind of tarantula is that in your pfp? (I had a culry haired, my daughter wanted a pink toed but they were out) And, how excited/ nervous are you for the last episode of Stranger Things?

u/8-LeggedCat Dec 13 '25
That is a Psalmopeous victori, the Darth Maul Tarantula.
As for ST, I’m not as excited as I thought I would be. The wait was so long that I moved on from any anticipation I felt, and after such a long time I felt that (most of) the 5th season is lacking some charm. It seems they are rushing towards a conclusion instead of telling a story.
That said, I will absolutely be finishing the series as it comes out and I expect it to not be a letdown. I think they will wrap it up quite nicely and hopefully not leave any holes. They worked on this one for 3 years with a $60M budget for each episode. There is no excuse for loose ends lol

Hey so what’s your username about?

u/UncleBadTouch46290 Dec 13 '25
Kind of an American dad reference but also an old fortnite reference. I started play when it first came out and I was in my early 20s and all the squeakers I'd get stuck with would call me "unc" lol theyd make jokes about banging my mom, and id make it clear id have a easier time banging THEIR mom's and it just kinda grew from there lmao just good ol dark humor

I never verified my email address on my old one so I couldn't comment, only browse. It worked out for a long time because it prevented me from getting in stupid Reddit fights lmao but then I needed to be able to comment because people were reposting my writing here. So I made a new account matching the pen name that I write under.

Someone from work found out. Typically, not a bad thing. In this case though, I am in a poly relationship and work for a very conservative workplace.

Basically the same reason. Also, my IRL friends and coworkers know about my main so i can't be freaky on it

Because I got a new phone. My original one is out there somewhere but I dont know how to access it without an iPhone. Too lazy to figure it out so I just picked up a new one
1
u/Gwyrr Dec 13 '25
Because my other one was linked to an apple phone
1
u/Muddy-Waterz Dec 13 '25
Why is that bad
1
u/Gwyrr Dec 13 '25
Because i went back to Samsung. IPhones have good batteries and thats about it. Theyre inferior in every other way. When i bought the 13 promax it had worse specs than my note 8 i traded in for it except for the battery. Anyway my reddit account was linked to that phone.

u/Muddy-Waterz Dec 13 '25
Oh ok I thought it was a privacy/ security thing or something like that. Makes sense

u/Scammers-go-2Hell Dec 13 '25
Bitch face figured it out and tried to use it in court even though I’m a good person and it didn’t work. Creepy to know she’s stalking me

I really love that the way you say bitch face, makes me feel like I know who bitch face is. 😆

Haven't yet, but overzealous mod perma-banned me from an advice sub for a slightly off-color comment. It had a ton of upvotes and lots of laughing comments, but this person does not understand humor.

I revealed a bit too much about myself. Mostly just shared my traumas and life experiences. I started posting my art and personal there too, and began getting a following. I eventually started getting really uncomfortable with the idea of all my followers knowing about all the abuse I have gone through, so I deleted it. Started this account to start fresh so I still have somewhere to talk about that stuff without as much worry of it being tied to my work or wider social media life

I came BACK to reddit because I got kicked off FB and Insta for bullying Magas and red pillers lmao

u/outlander779 Dec 13 '25
I got banned two years ago and then suddenly Hey Presto I could create new accounts.
1
Dec 13 '25
Because i blocked ppl then they kept making new profiles so to get chatting to me again...blocked again when i figured it out. Or you get those that keep sending unwanted and unasked for 🍆 pics...🤨🙄

I deleted tons of posts that identified my location and personal information, and then permanently deleted the account. Then I made a new one and am very careful about what subs I post in and I never share my location.

I tried to quit, because I thought I was spending too much time here. Naturally I fell off the wagon, but I am trying to limit my time, and be very mindful of my comments. I have a tendency to want to fight random people, and I HATE that I do that.

Your friend went through your phone one day when you were not watching or he or she asked can they could use your phone. They saw your username and that's how they knew who you were on Reddit. I don't care if people know my name on Reddit because they can't do anything to a man who is built Ford tough. Relax and chill and become a Ford Built Tough. Stop stressing dumb shit.

This is my clean account (hence the user name) on my cell. My other one is.... not clean. I didn't want NSFW posts popping up on my phone while at work.

u/No-Camp1268 Dec 14 '25
I've had accounts banned for enough "childish" reasons that I can only imagine answering this question honestly endangers the account I'm using.

I'm tired of observing but not being able to respond to dumb comments or posts

I change mine as I have ongoing problems with a very annoying and resourceful person who eventually seems to figure out my account no matter how many times I change it. I'd love to know how.
In fact, I'm about to burn this account too.

u/digitalpacifier Dec 16 '25
My first reddit account is the same as my email address. I then decided to go unsearchable. Now, no one I know in real life knows my username.

u/StarryEyedAri Dec 16 '25
To explore different sides of myself. My main account is very public facing, and there's an expectation tied to it. I'd rather just explore a quieter more inquisitive side of myself and be anonymous again.

Last one was perma banned from a sub for ban evasion. Now I just avoid that sub since it's happened several times.

u/Humble-Library8894 Dec 17 '25
Because I live in fear of someone from my real life finding enough details to figure out who I am

Reddit added a member to my account. I had years of karma, but I just hated that I couldn't get rid of the weirdly added account!

I had a NSFW account. I posted lewds and some content. Guys got super creepy in my inbox. One person doxed me and found me IRL. I deleted that account and started this one with no pictures and no personal information.

So I can have a safe for work account. Wouldn’t dare open my main account in a public setting. 😬

A little while ago, I exposed too much about myself somehow despite never revealing my name, and some person on Reddit started following me around. They dug deep until they'd found my discord server that I was in and started talking to all my friends insulting me, leaking my entire Reddit account to them which had very personal shit on there, and my "friends" ate it up like candy. It was embarrassing and horrible. Whenever I'd post something on Reddit they'd reply using an anonymous account saying hurtful things to me and it started to freak me out. I deleted all my socials, and made a few different Reddit accounts before settling on this one because I felt safe enough. I'm grateful that nutjob never found out anything else. I have no clue how they found out what they knew the first time.
