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?
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.
New meta: ban golf
I don’t think you’re going to get more efficient than “Luigi” right now, which I think might just do it.
Honestly the cultural power that word has right now is inspiring. They are so afraid, and people are seeing that they’re afraid, and that has power in itself.
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.
But the reversion sets them back and requires resources
preserving your data is more valuable for them than the time spent rewinding your account back half an hour.
hell, they might even have it as an automated script that fires off after it detects to many post edits from your account or something.
Shit. I would have done this.
Even when you’re banned you have to delete your account. May as well try as an experiment
I’ve been trying to delete my Facebook for years
Are people really having trouble with it? I did it several years ago. I recall it being a fairly easy process.
I’m gonna see if that link from the other comment works, but I’ve tried a few times and the page to delete your account mysteriously would never load for me.
Maybe somebody spilled beer on the one and only deletion server.
Just stop going there. Delete the app, delete the bookmark, and move on with your life.
Back when the Apollo app stopped working I never again used Reddit. I don’t even remember how to login and it was a throwaway forwarding email so my 8 year account died with Apollo.
Yeah I deleted the app and the shortcut on the top of my browser and I dont get the urge anymore
All I did was make a scene by arguing with a bunch of circle jerking divas and the power tripping mods got me banned.
See if you can sell it then lol
56k + karma up for grabs hit me … where’s that polish chick with the dab rig
Looks like an OS native dialog, which makes me think this is the app? Have you tried doing it directly on the website instead?
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…
deleted by creator
I believe it might have been called Power Delete Suite
This doesn’t work anymore they shut down the api , if your in a gdpr country just enforce your right.
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.
Nice ill check it out.
Hypothetically, if you live in
freedomburger land could you use a VPN and claim gdpr enforcement? Or is there more to it?Gdpr only applies to EU citizens. But your account is anonymous. How would they know you’re not?
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.
Try using the site?
Yey, that worked! Thanks man!
Eff you, Reddit
