    Reddit allows you to appear anonymous to other Redditors, but Reddit knows who you are.

    You can create an account anonymously, and you might be able to browse through a connection that can’t be tied to you, but you’ll be shadowbanned from the start.

      Until Reddit sends your account information to your neighbors, it is functionally anonymous to a lot of people, which is what I was getting at in the comparison to Facebook.
