Has any tried getting banned from Reddit?
Since Reddit admin have made it impossible to delete posts by hindering tools' access to the API and by simply reinstating them from archives, has anyone tried simply batch editing them to something guaranteed to get banned? I'm currently using Redact.dev's software to edit all existing comments and posts to something that will get my account banned from most subs. We'll see if it works.
Change all your comments to something about Lemmy, might get you banned
Is Redact any good? I've been thinking about using it on my Twitter account but I was struggling to find info about how safe/good it is.
It worked for me for a couple days until Reddit reinstated my comments from archives which really pissed me off.
Not worth it imo. Reddit doesn't get any more of my time, if it isn't necessary.
Agreed. I’m just trying to reduce their profit from any time I spent there in the past as well.
They did? I nuked my account yesterday. I guess I got lucky!
I spent a week manually deleting everything reddit showed me, until the comment / post list permanently displayed "this user hasn't posted anything" and "there seems to be nothing here" for two days in a row. Then I used "shreddit" and it found and deleted a whooping 981 MORE comments that reddit somehow chose to not show me. My account is deleted now, but some of the comments are STILL visible (just no longer attributed to me and instead "posted by [deleted]". I can even outright google them if I type my old username into the search bar.
There is definitely something fishy going on.
