Reddit decided that i can’t delete my account, i tried several times with no luck. Do you have ideas? Should i get myself banned?
Make a comment saying „Luigi is good“ or something like that, that should get rid of your Reddit account.
Just send a GDPR deletion request. You can find ready made texts online. Just plug in your email/username and send it. Make sure to request a confirmation of the deletion.
Wouldn’t that require an EU citizenship/ residence? I always assumed that was the case…
Don’t delete your account. There are browser plugins that will edit all your posts to nonsense to fuck up AI models. Be a burden.
They reverted mine before. It’s Reddit, if they don’t have backups or methods to detect mass edits or deletions, I’d be shocked.
But the reversion sets them back and requires resources
preserving your data is more valuable for them than the time spent rewinding your account back half an hour.
hell, they might even have it as an automated script that fires off after it detects to many post edits from your account or something.
Shit. I would have done this.
Try using the site?
Yey, that worked! Thanks man!
So when I deleted my account a few years back, i hade a Firefox script delete all my posts and comments.
Then i created a ticket for support asking to apply my right to be forgotten, according tomy GDPR rights and also a written confirmation that my content would not be recreated after deletion.
They will play hard but just say that you then will need their official information such as conpony name, adress, phone number, email, reg number and preferred communication method for your local data authority to contact them.
They complied with my request without any fuss. I didn’t even have access to my account due to losing my 2fa device.
I wonder if one could use a Euro VPN provider to say that they’ve moved to a GDPR country to affect this outcome by having a Euro IP. It might work.
Try the website, old.reddit.com in particular.
“Oh no. Our automatic door seems to have suffered a unfortunate malfunction while you were trying to leave the premises.”
Make sure you go back and delete every comment or posting first.
Doesn’t matter don’t do it.
A few months back someone posted that they found all of their deleted posts from when the great migration to Lemmy happened. And I checked myself that day and found that a large portion of my posts that I had deleted were restored. And I had verified the day that I had left Reddit that my posts were gone. There was no history on my account. And if I look right now those posts exist again.
I’ve heard that editing your comments into random sentences is an effective workaround.
You can only go so far back, and then it won’t let you edit older posts. I tried many months ago.
That’s both frustrating and evil.
You have to use the API and scripts.
yep, looks like mine are back as well. wow.
Only thing i regret about deleting my reddit was not doing this beforehand :l
Also just remembered i may have some lost account that isnt deleted, shrug
Go on there and state that you believe that Nazis should be punched. They’ll ban your account.
You can check out any time you want.
But you can never leave.
You could try posting pro-mangione stuff Or just harden your browser
You mean stuff like:
Feels So Good released in 1978 reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.
Just get banned. It’s pretty easy nowadays.
Yeah, there’s a simple code for it, you just have to type “Luigi spez” and they’ll handle this for you.
New meta: ban golf
I don’t think you’re going to get more efficient than “Luigi” right now, which I think might just do it.
Honestly the cultural power that word has right now is inspiring. They are so afraid, and people are seeing that they’re afraid, and that has power in itself.
No, don’t. Banned accounts look good in their statistics to investors, like they care about users and enforce strict moderation. Or they shrug you off as part of a bot army or something.
Actual deletion means a conscious act of a user to leave the platform.
Do it on the desktop website, their mobile stuff is broken beyond repair.
Having the same problem with Twitter account lol got banned 2023 for being nafo embassador but now can’t delete the account somehow.

All I did was make a scene by arguing with a bunch of circle jerking divas and the power tripping mods got me banned.
