Are you admitting that you change some settings on other users? What settings are un-stickied?

Not so much "change" as "don't store server side". Some settings are only kept on your local device - as browser cookies, for example. If you switch to a different device, then you'll end up with site defaults again, because Reddit never sent your old device settings to a server.

This particular setting goes to a server and should be automatically synced to all of your devices, persisting even if you uninstall and re-install apps or whatever.

lift's answer may not address Naouak's question, though. In the past, Reddit has been known to flip "stickied" settings (such as "don't use the redesign") - lift's response seems to miss this point, and doesn't really assure me that the company won't do it again.

Edit:

Aaaaaaand the reports are already coming in...
