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...
Try using the site?
Yey, that worked! Thanks man!
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
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.
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.
"Oh no. Our automatic door seems to have suffered a unfortunate malfunction while you were trying to leave the premises."
Try the website, old.reddit.com in particular.
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.
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.
You can check out any time you want.
But you can never leave.
Go on there and state that you believe that Nazis should be punched. They’ll ban your account.
Looks like an OS native dialog, which makes me think this is the app? Have you tried doing it directly on the website instead?
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.
Having the same problem with Twitter account lol got banned 2023 for being nafo embassador but now can't delete the account somehow.
Slava Ukraïni 🇺🇦🫶🏽🤍
Just stop going there. Delete the app, delete the bookmark, and move on with your life.
See if you can sell it then lol
56k + karma up for grabs hit me ... where's that polish chick with the dab rig
All I did was make a scene by arguing with a bunch of circle jerking divas and the power tripping mods got me banned.
Well I'm glad I've deleted all my Reddit account before chaos on there
Eff you, Reddit
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!
They won’t let me kill my account either
Maybe somebody spilled beer on the one and only deletion server.
