I installed the official Reddit app and went on it to see what the old place was looking like now. My inbox was filled with spam. The “home feed” shows subs I never subscribed to. There are so many ads. Between the ads and the the extra subs in the feed, it’s hard to just scroll. I also noted a lot of spam in some of the subs. Maybe they are subs with no mods? I’m not sure what’s up with that.

      I keep my account up because I’m in subs that have technical help for certain hardware and software. I have lots of answers to issues that can be very helpful when searching. It sucks that Spez has forced so many people to delete important help like that.

          Export them where? I have tens of thousands of posts and comments. Idk how to easily find the ones that would be relvant and then idk where I would put them that they would turn up in a search. Right now if you search for an issue that I have a resolution for, it will come up with the Reddit post or reply that I’ve made. I don’t know what I would do with them if I exported them so that people could find them.

      I relate to this, but my issue when they banned my account with over 90k karma and four years of engagement, they banned me and any new account got suspended immediately… even after trying the VPN way… So when I try to delete the accounts… Reddit won’t let me delete them always says sorry you can’t do that right now try again later… but because it’s banned/permanently suspended… I can’t see anything on the profile either. I am beyond done with Reddit

        I feel that. Last year I had a 12 year account with about 140k karma permabanned for linking to rarbg on a TV series sub. My mistake but there was no warning. After that, every account I tried making got nuked for ban circumventing within a week of creating it, which made it impossible to use reddit for things like BST communities, which was pretty much all my activity was anyway

          I just got permabanned for saying “cunt” because it’s sexist hate speech… dick is allowed but cunt isn’t? I think the neckbeard mods are just addicted to brandishing their internet authority because they’re such losers in real life.
