Jeez guys, stop deleting your account until you are SURE reddit stopped restoring your content.
Every week I check and see some comments and posts of mine being restored. I take screenshots for proof and report them under GDPR law.
If you erase your account, you have no more power.
In no way do I have power at reddit. I was a long time lurker, maxed out at 4K karma/internet points, and none of my posts/comments got more than a few hundred votes. I was/am on no one's radar.
I have my GDPR report.
On reddit over the past few weeks, I edited my posts to garbage text. Then, after learning about Redact, I deleted all of my comments and posts. After a few more days, I deleted my account.
I had 130K+ karma, and after my eighth "permaban," I decided to stop fighting it. I pissed off a couple of power mods, and they began abusing the report function. Calling them out by name got me "unbanned" every single time, but I'm done at this point.... Reddit is dying, and I don't care.
You got permabanned eight times AND got unbanned seven times - how the hell did you manage that? I've been permabanned exactly once, and havent managed to get unbanned despite several appeals. How did you work out who had you banned? I cant see it in my case
It was a certain turtle, so it wasn't hard to figure out. And yeah, I'm on eight at this point. Even if I was interested in fighting the good fight again, with the way things are going over there, he'll be back in power in no time. I'm done with that nonsense; I'll go back to Fark if I have to.
I deleted my account after 8 and a half years after the API changes took affect and since then, I haven't really missed it. Besides the API changes, the other decisions the admins have made shows that either they're intentionally trying to run Reddit into the ground or they're incredibly incompetent. Regardless, Reddit has shown it's a platform I no longer want to be a part of.
