I can't delete my reddit account.
I can't delete my reddit account.
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?
They won’t let me kill my account either
Just do something to get it banned.
Go on there and state that you believe that Nazis should be punched. They’ll ban your account.
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.
Happened to me too yesterday I had many alt and my account where I do European activism got shadowbanned so I decided to delete everything but they would not let me, the only way is to cause mayhem and break the rules to make them regret keeping you.
Having the same problem with Twitter account lol got banned 2023 for being nafo embassador but now can't delete the account somehow.

Looks like an OS native dialog, which makes me think this is the app? Have you tried doing it directly on the website instead?
All I did was make a scene by arguing with a bunch of circle jerking divas and the power tripping mods got me 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...
Eff you, Reddit
See if you can sell it then lol
56k + karma up for grabs hit me ... where's that polish chick with the dab rig
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.
I think we can all agree, Nutsack is being falsely maligned.
Wow
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 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.
yep, looks like mine are back as well. wow.
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.
Try using the site?
Yey, that worked! Thanks man!
You can check out any time you want.
But you can never leave.
"Oh no. Our automatic door seems to have suffered a unfortunate malfunction while you were trying to leave the premises."
Even when you're banned you have to delete your account. May as well try as an experiment
Well I'm glad I've deleted all my Reddit account before chaos on there
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?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.
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
