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?
Eff you, Reddit
Maybe somebody spilled beer on the one and only deletion server.
deleted by creator
I’ve been trying to delete my Facebook for years
Just stop going there. Delete the app, delete the bookmark, and move on with your life.
See if you can sell it then lol
Even when you’re banned you have to delete your account. May as well try as an experiment
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.
I recommend using a tool to scramble all of your comments, waiting a while, and then deleting. Check back every few days to verify deletion before ultimately closing your account. For some reason, if a subreddit is hidden or closed, you can delete your messages from there until it’s reopened.
I spent about 2 weeks deleting my accounts from reddit during the mobile app exodus.
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
Try the website, old.reddit.com in particular.
That’s funny. I live in a small country so I can’t stop being banned. All I have to do is comment “hey” and my account is gone instantly.
why? does reddit just assume any and all traffic from your country is VPN traffic?
it’s not just Reddit. it’s more websites every year.
I’ve worked as a sysadmin at companies who have done it. they blacklist an ASN which covers an entire ISP, or they just straight up ban the entire country. it’s the easiest way to get rid of a few kids running penetration scans against the site or whatever. they don’t get much revenue from the users in these countries and so they don’t care. access to the collective knowledge of humanity is always getting smaller in developing countries.
wow that’s so shitty holy heck. i hope none of those websites are essential, or if they are that you find a free and working VNP
I think we can all agree, Nutsack is being falsely maligned.
Wow
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.
You can check out any time you want.
But you can never leave.
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.
Make a comment saying „Luigi is good“ or something like that, that should get rid of your Reddit account.
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.
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.
They complied with my request without any fuss. I didn’t even have access to my account due to losing my 2fa device.
