Reddit keeps undeleting my account and posts. Is there anything I can do as an American Citizen?
Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 104 points – This is pissing me off to no end. I went on reddit and signed in out of habbit as I have a couple times already and before my account was gone and it wouldnt let me sign in.
Now I did it again and realized that my account actually was undeleted and allowed me to login AND all the posts that I overwrited and deleted with Power Delete Suite where back. I am so pissed right now.

wow, kinda makes me glad I deleted mine the day before all this started 😳
I would check again to make sure
Just did, mine's thankfully still actually deleted.
I've been wondering if Reddit has been fucking with stuff just since the API stuff started. This is a data point indicating yes.
On the one hand CDNs not updating would explain it. On the other? Given how twitter tried 'not-banning' people to keep numbers inflated but muzzle dissent? A little paranoia is warrented.
Just... keep away from the tinfoil.
Especially since spez said he is inspired by Musk's handling of Twitter...
I have a feeling they're going to undelete any activity within the past or next few weeks. I personally am leaving Reddit alone for now. In another two or three weeks (months?), I plan to go in and delete all my old posts slowly over time (or replace with some statement about moving to kbin social).
I'll likely write a manual automated script to parse through and overwrite over a decade's worth of comments/postings to ensure it's erased/gone.
But for now I've blocked the reddit domains from my router so I don't accidentally visit the site and ensure they see zero traffic from my IP address
Keeping the account around for now for the same reason.
