I'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.

I 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.

In hindsight, I understand. But I did this 6-7 years back and no one has come after me, should I care at this point?
