Like a lot of the new users here I too am a former Redditor. I was on Reddit for 15 years, it was my main source of news and information. I didn’t agree with many of the changes to reddit but kept on, till recently when I learned the app I’d been using “Infinity” would no longer work, I guess that was the final straw, but as the title suggests I’m glad. I started looking for other sources of information and entertainment which led to lemmy and the fediverse. I also found other content creators on platforms like patreon, substack, discord, mastodon,that I may not have found otherwise if I was still on Reddit. Just felt like sharing, thank you for reading this, hope you all have a wonderful day.

      Oo. Great question. Probably not.

      But you can still submit a privacy act request for all of your data to be deleted. My understanding is that such protection exists in the EU, UK, and California.

            huh. every time i try to go to my profile i just see that ‘this account has been suspended’ message covering the whole screen, i cant even look at my comments

            edit: i checked i can edit a comment, if i can find it (eg by going to my ‘replies’, checking context and i can go ahead and edit my comment). but no way to just go to all comments and look for something specific, without manually finding threads through google or something

      You could try deleting your account on Old Reddit instead. I know deleting while suspended works, but I’m unsure about being permanently banned. Still, it couldn’t hurt to try.
