the workaround for that is to use different accounts.

I personally am privacy conscious so I used a different reddit account on each device. After I was “stalked” across different subs by one particularly delightful individual after we had a disagreement, I also made it a practice to create a fresh account every 2-3 years or so. I did this consciously on my desktop/laptop, but on my phone it was easier - every time I get a new phone, I make a new account.

The downside is that you lose your karma, which… isn’t a downside for me at all.
