It's generally a bad idea to create fake Google accounts, if you have a primary account you don't want banned.

I have had probably a hundred accounts through google, all of them almost 100℅ connected to me and have not had an issue in 20 years I used google.

Did you use them to create fraudulent restaurant reviews?

How do you make so many accounts without it having to ask for a phone number? I sometimes try to create accounts just to signup to things I know will send spam; but Gmail asks for a phone number and I give up because what's the point if I have to give Google my number

Create your account more slowly to avoid a phone number request, Google thinks you’re just ancient. As always, avoid poisoning your IP by changing it after every new account. I’ve successfully used and discarded like 40 google accounts.

Online SIMs exist.

Check if they're legal in your area though.

You used to be able to just press skip instead of using a phone for a back up.

The person literally said Jews are going to accuse us of antisemitism no matter what so we might as well accuse them of genocide...

This is my concern with the whole movement.

You guys are spending your time defending obvious anti semitism instead of doing anything to defend the Palestinian people.

If you truly believe a genocide is happening, than what you are doing to help is not good enough.

Henlo, I’m here to inform you that your app is a little fucky wucky. It replied to the wrong comment on the wrong post.

[–] bramblepatchmystery 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Oh fuck, thank you for letting me know.

[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago (1 children)

It happened to someone else here as well. Out of curiosity, are you using sync?

[–] bramblepatchmystery 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)
[–] Gullible@sh.itjust.works 1 points 8 months ago

Huh, the other was sync. Weird…

Is this in their TOS somewhere? I am 99.99% this isn’t enforced and there are many professional and private reasons to have multiple accounts.

Edit: I guess if you actively try to cheat the system by exploiting multiple accounts. But i thought the post was a possibly fake funny and not a suggestion/endorsment.
