Re:Reddit's website uses DRM for fingerprinting by prophesi on Thursday July 09, 2020 @04:02PM (#23784454)
My bad, *a database.

I'm pretty sure I saw in an AMA that Reddit has an Accounts database (maybe split further by sharding) which I'd assume holds your settings as well.

But I rescind my point; it could very well be attributed to database infrastructure issues, whether that's hitting a shard with stale data, or splitting account settings to its own DB that it can't access when you log in.
