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 sure you go back and delete every comment or posting first.
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.
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.
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 can check out any time you want.
But you can never leave.
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.
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.
Well I’m glad I’ve deleted all my Reddit account before chaos on there
Try using the site?
Yey, that worked! Thanks man!
“Oh no. Our automatic door seems to have suffered a unfortunate malfunction while you were trying to leave the premises.”
What happens when you click learn more?
You learn that reddit support is a shithole and when you eventually reach the faq for deleting your accout, reddit says 🖕
I believe you’re then obligated to deploy to Klendathu within 3 months.
But it’s an ugly planet! A bug planet! I don’t wanna!
There was a browser add-on that removes or edits all your Reddit messages. Can’t recall the name though.
This doesn’t work anymore they shut down the api , if your in a gdpr country just enforce your right.
Hypothetically, if you live in
freedomburger land could you use a VPN and claim gdpr enforcement? Or is there more to it?Gdpr only applies to EU citizens. But your account is anonymous. How would they know you’re not?
The add-on, called “Nuke Reddit History,” no longer uses the API, just good ol’ fashioned JavaScript.
It takes a bit longer, but it does the job.
It works.

Whether it works on the back end and they’ll restore your comments or not as a different story.
Yup I’ve heard of people doing this and then reddit just restores …
I remember it using the API, which is supposedly disabled now. There are warnings on early Lemmy posts to use the tool before Reddit rolls out the changes.
I believe it might have been called Power Delete Suite
