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?
“Oh no. Our automatic door seems to have suffered a unfortunate malfunction while you were trying to leave the premises.”
Try using the site?
Yey, that worked! Thanks man!
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.
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.
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
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…
