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
Try from desktop. It worked for me.
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.
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.
That’s both frustrating and evil.
You have to use the API and scripts.
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
Looks like an OS native dialog, which makes me think this is the app? Have you tried doing it directly on the website instead?
Just stop going there. Delete the app, delete the bookmark, and move on with your life.
Yeah I deleted the app and the shortcut on the top of my browser and I dont get the urge anymore
I stopped browsing on my phone during the API debacle, I’d check in on my computer every so often, then I got sick of all the Reddit-ness of everything, deleted the bookmark, and haven’t been back.
deleted by creator
Well I’m glad I’ve deleted all my Reddit account before chaos on there
Eff you, Reddit
Try the website, old.reddit.com in particular.
If anyone is considering the same don’t forget to use shreddit first.
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.
“Oh no. Our automatic door seems to have suffered a unfortunate malfunction while you were trying to leave the premises.”
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.
Make a comment saying „Luigi is good“ or something like that, that should get rid of your Reddit account.
Go on there and state that you believe that Nazis should be punched. They’ll ban your account.
Maybe somebody spilled beer on the one and only deletion server.
Do it on the desktop website, their mobile stuff is broken beyond repair.
