Doesn't matter because reddit accounts don't hold the same weight as twitter accounts. Making a new reddit account is trivial and you lose absolutely nothing.



is that not true of Twitter as well?


On Twitter you follow people, on a site like Reddit you subscribe to subreddits.

Switching between accounts on Twitter means your follows/followers are lost, switching accounts on Reddit doesn't lose you anything (unless you're subscrived to private subreddits or are a moderator for a subreddit)


Twitter sometimes requires a verified email and phone number, which I assume they globally ban when they can. Not sure how effectively they are, but they do at least something make throwaways harder than Reddit does.
