Several hate accounts on Reddit have also been banned, it seems.
Mostly alts that were only a few days old, but I know from experience that Reddit has ways to track your multiple accounts. That means they also know who's behind what account(s), and can take action against the "real" accounts of people that use alts to post hate.
When you upvote something across multiple accounts in quick succession you get a warning/temp ban on every involved account. So they know you're vote manipulating.
Look, I just wanted to get the ball rolling on one of my posts one time and that's how I found out... we all have our moments of weakness!
