    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.

      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.

    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.

      Yeah, there’s a simple code for it, you just have to type “Luigi spez” and they’ll handle this for you.

      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.

          Are you using a VPN or browser they don’t like? Have you tried on a different device? It might be worth trying.

    There was a browser add-on that removes or edits all your Reddit messages. Can’t recall the name though.

        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.

        Hypothetically, if you live in freedom burger land could you use a VPN and claim gdpr enforcement? Or is there more to it?

          If they ask for verification which they can do , basicly they can disagree , also if your acc is outside EU gdpr could maybe not apply .
