Like a lot of the new users here I too am a former Redditor. I was on Reddit for 15 years, it was my main source of news and information. I didn't agree with many of the changes to reddit but kept on, till recently when I learned the app I'd been using "Infinity" would no longer work, I guess that was the final straw, but as the title suggests I'm glad. I started looking for other sources of information and entertainment which led to lemmy and the fediverse. I also found other content creators on platforms like patreon, substack, discord, mastodon,that I may not have found otherwise if I was still on Reddit. Just felt like sharing, thank you for reading this, hope you all have a wonderful day.

Can you still do this if you're permabanned?

[-] detalferous@lemm.ee 5 points 1 year ago

Oo. Great question. Probably not.

But you can still submit a privacy act request for all of your data to be deleted. My understanding is that such protection exists in the EU, UK, and California.

can confirm you cannot. I can't even edit my old comments

[-] Psythik@lemm.ee 2 points 1 year ago

Interesting. I can still edit my comments despite the admin ban.

huh. every time i try to go to my profile i just see that 'this account has been suspended' message covering the whole screen, i cant even look at my comments

edit: i checked i can edit a comment, if i can find it (eg by going to my 'replies', checking context and i can go ahead and edit my comment). but no way to just go to all comments and look for something specific, without manually finding threads through google or something

You could try deleting your account on Old Reddit instead. I know deleting while suspended works, but I'm unsure about being permanently banned. Still, it couldn't hurt to try.

That's it.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.
