      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.

      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.

    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.

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

    So when I deleted my account a few years back, i hade a Firefox script delete all my posts and comments.

    Then i created a ticket for support asking to apply my right to be forgotten, according tomy GDPR rights and also a written confirmation that my content would not be recreated after deletion.

    They will play hard but just say that you then will need their official information such as conpony name, adress, phone number, email, reg number and preferred communication method for your local data authority to contact them.

      I wonder if one could use a Euro VPN provider to say that they’ve moved to a GDPR country to affect this outcome by having a Euro IP. It might work.

    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.

        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.
