many users can log in. If you can not login and want to delete your data, Reddit must delete that information. It is data you created and it does not belong to Reddit. Not allowing you delete data you created on their website is Reddit begging for a lawsuit.
you can still delete your conent after being banned from the site. It was a ban, not seizure of your metadata. If you deleted something and Reddit chose to hold onto it, they are asking for a lawsuit.
this is the way!
good for you!
5 pixels are a lot smaller than you might imagine especially if you run a 4k display 😅
It takes time for deleted data to be deleted.
If they refuse to delete your data upon your request, then they have a law suit coming up
This will not stop you from deleting your content from Reddit which was obtained for free from you, after they turn around to ban you/deny you access to their services.
we can always build another one. Reddit is nothing without people’s data and contributions which is why I advise you to delete your data if they decide to ban your account permanently.
that’s strange. You should be able to login to your permanently banned account and delete your data. Reddit is stealing your content if they prevent you from making changes to your data after a permanent ban.
you only need to prove the one in reddit’s possession which is very straight-forward.
A wise man once said, “No one man should have all that power…”
In perpetuity until the courts say it’s not.
edit your data. replace your posts with random single words. that would overwrite the backed up data.
Another route is to sue them, I’ll be welcome to a coalition of former reddit users who have been exploited like this to pull resources together and make reddit surrender the backup of banned user data.
HAve you tried logging in after a reddit permaban?
The point of the permaban is that reddit no longer wants you to use their service. What they conveniently leave out is your accumulated data which stays with them. I mean if reddit deems you unnecessary, then they should get rid of your data, but they will not. They use it to make money. A permaban is an inconvenience to you, but free money for them.
“some” not all. Use it for the ones that work. For the ones that do not allow, you may manually delete your comments or replace them with random single words so it overwrites whatever backups they have.
In a war of man vs machine, Man always wins
You are not deleting your account, only to return with a new account. Reddit has become a cesspool and it would be a wise decision to leave with all your data.
You may corrupt your data before leaving so it overwrites the backup. Someone used an auto app that replaced all their posts with random gibberish. It took about a week, this is something you might explore if it addresses your concerns.
Poison the data. Love it
I really hope you deleted every activity on your 14 year old account because reddit will hold on to your data (even if you delete your account), sell it, and use it to train their AI. Something which they got from you for free while denying you access to their services after you committed time (14 fucking years), paid internet and all that. I wish every single user they permabanned did this. Reddit would collapse in less than one week
Before you delete your account. Delete every activity on that account -posts, comments, chats, etc- because that data still remains with reddit, they do not delete it, and they could sell it (for a fee) and use it to train their AI models
Time for more users to adopt GrapheneOS
