News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

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...

[–] Nunar@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

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.

Do it on the desktop website, their mobile stuff is broken beyond repair.

"Oh no. Our automatic door seems to have suffered a unfortunate malfunction while you were trying to leave the premises."

Yey, that worked! Thanks man!

[–] Franconian_Nomad@feddit.org 1 points 1 month ago

Make a comment saying „Luigi is good“ or something like that, that should get rid of your Reddit account.

[–] daggermoon@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just do something to get it banned.

[–] viking@infosec.pub 1 points 1 month ago

No, don't. Banned accounts look good in their statistics to investors, like they care about users and enforce strict moderation. Or they shrug you off as part of a bot army or something.

Actual deletion means a conscious act of a user to leave the platform.

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.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

why? does reddit just assume any and all traffic from your country is VPN traffic?

[–] nutsack@lemmy.dbzer0.com 1 points 1 month ago* (last edited 1 month ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

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

[–] Adulated_Aspersion@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Make sure you go back and delete every comment or posting first.

[–] CaptPretentious@lemmy.world 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

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.

[–] caboose2006@lemm.ee 0 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just get banned. It's pretty easy nowadays.

[–] JeremyHuntQW12@lemmy.world 1 points 3 weeks ago

No that won't work.

Most likely OP has been shadowbanned so they cannot comment.
