I check my Reddit profile every few months. My old posts are back again. Must be the third or fourth time since I left the platform.

Right now I'm running PowerDeleteSuite to purge my profile. I'm so tired of this garbage that I'm starting to lean towards sending a GDPR RTBF request just to stop having to redoing this every few months.

Poor support

I’ve used Reddit for 4+ years and trusted this platform, but now I’m completely locked out of my account.

Password resets succeed but login still fails.

Google login shows “Invalid credentials.”

Login links just say “Something went wrong.”

10+ support tickets = nothing but useless automated bot replies.

No human help, no security, no accountability. All my time, posts, and data are just wasted because of Reddit’s broken system.

This is how @Reddit_Support treats long-time users. Absolutely shameful.

TL;DR: A leaked Reddit admin policy change will reportedly limit accounts to moderating only one large subreddit (1M+ weekly viewers) and up to five medium-sized subreddits (100k+ weekly viewers). This is seen as a response to past subreddit blackouts over API changes, with some moderators allegedly planning to circumvent the restrictions. Here are some screenshots if you don't want to view the cancerous link:

Honestly. too little too late and for the wrong reasons. They should have done this 6-8 years ago.

I'm not going to give out my new username, but I will say it definitely worked. I used Brave web browser, not only that but I used a fake name on my email. I have since avoided a Reddit ban, and oh boy I do miss Reddit. So some rules of thumb is act like someone who is new to Reddit, don't create a new Reddit account and then start following the same subreddits you followed before. Someone who follows a bunch of subreddits after starting an account throws the red flag they know what their doing, but yeah I'm not risking using the same browser or even using Reddit app.

How do I delete all my reddit posts and comments?
they just handed me another permanent ban because I said I support Iran over Israel.

I dont want to leave free content for them, how do I remove it all?

Edit: created new account after clearing browser cache, but they banned me again.
they do this by using browser fingerprinting and ip.

no biggie - I know workarounds.
Just unplug your modem for 10 minutes - that should get you a new ip. then clear all the browsing cache. New account will work - but make sure not ever login to new account via your phone.

I have tried a few times Creating an reddit account with VPN on but always get shadowbanned. Is there anything I can do to protect my privacy from reddit?

Or is there any public reddit account shared online that could be used publicly?

Are there any open-source Reddit frontends available for Windows? I’ve seen some options for Linux and Android, but so far I haven’t had any luck finding one that works on Windows.

The more time passes, the more I started to see the flaws in Lemmy design and development which will prevent it from being something meaningful.

Which lead me to ask, is there is any worthy alternative to Reddit?

• I tried HackerNews , but it does not seem very fit.
• Tildes seem to have way more problems than Reddit, development and moderation.
• Saidit seems to be almost dead and have zero active Android clients.
• Discuit used to have a potential, but they are stuck in toxic positivity phase and the admins does not seem to understand how to moderate and it seems that they will have the same fate as Ruqqis.

Anything else?

Hey everyone, I thought I'd post a test of a Firefox browser extension I've been working on that streamlines crossposting Reddit posts over to Lemmy communities.

The extension works by injecting a new 'Share to Lemmy' button under each Reddit post in your web browser. Clicking on the new button opens a pop-up menu that auto-completes the relevant fields for your Lemmy post (post title, text body, external URL, thumbnail image). The menu provides a field for you to search Lemmy communities, and relevant results are provided as you type.

The extension options menu provides a means of logging in and out of your Lemmy account in order to make posts. Click on the extension in the browser toolbar to access options and sign in to Lemmy.

Firefox Extension: https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/lemmylinks/

Some known issues I plan on working out soon:

• No support for mobile browsers yet.
• Instance selection isn't correctly filtering community search results. As a result it's a tad difficult to determine if the 'politics' community you're posting to is for lemmy.world, lemmy.ml, etc.
• Sometimes image URLs for images hosted on Reddit aren't correctly identified for upload to Lemmy, and they have to be manually input.

Something big is happening, as Reddit seems to have purged literally every NSFW sub they know. Reason is always "unmoderated" despite some of the banned subreddits being fully moderated.

Edit: seems to have been a bug in automation (thanks @lefty7283@lemmy.world):

It's still a good reminder on how quickly a community (or communities) thousands of people enjoy and in some cases rely upon can disappear.

Has this ever happened before? I don't think I've ever seen Reddit "temporarily" ban a subredit like this.
