News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

You could try posting pro-mangione stuff Or just harden your browser

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

You mean stuff like:

Feels So Good released in 1978 reached number 4 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Try the website, old.reddit.com in particular.

[–] [email protected] 7 points 1 month ago

Well I'm glad I've deleted all my Reddit account before chaos on there

[–] [email protected] 22 points 1 month ago

You can check out any time you want.

But you can never leave.

That's funny. I live in a small country so I can't stop being banned. All I have to do is comment "hey" and my account is gone instantly.

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago (2 children)

why? does reddit just assume any and all traffic from your country is VPN traffic?

[–] [email protected] 6 points 1 month ago

I think we can all agree, Nutsack is being falsely maligned.

it's not just Reddit. it's more websites every year.

I've worked as a sysadmin at companies who have done it. they blacklist an ASN which covers an entire ISP, or they just straight up ban the entire country. it's the easiest way to get rid of a few kids running penetration scans against the site or whatever. they don't get much revenue from the users in these countries and so they don't care. access to the collective knowledge of humanity is always getting smaller in developing countries.

[–] [email protected] 11 points 1 month ago

wow that's so shitty holy heck. i hope none of those websites are essential, or if they are that you find a free and working VNP

So when I deleted my account a few years back, i hade a Firefox script delete all my posts and comments.

Then i created a ticket for support asking to apply my right to be forgotten, according tomy GDPR rights and also a written confirmation that my content would not be recreated after deletion.

They will play hard but just say that you then will need their official information such as conpony name, adress, phone number, email, reg number and preferred communication method for your local data authority to contact them.

I wonder if one could use a Euro VPN provider to say that they've moved to a GDPR country to affect this outcome by having a Euro IP. It might work.

[–] [email protected] 8 points 1 month ago

They complied with my request without any fuss. I didn't even have access to my account due to losing my 2fa device.

[–] [email protected] 99 points 1 month ago (1 children)

Just send a GDPR deletion request. You can find ready made texts online. Just plug in your email/username and send it. Make sure to request a confirmation of the deletion.

What happens when you click learn more?

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 month ago (1 children)

I believe you're then obligated to deploy to Klendathu within 3 months.

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 month ago

But it's an ugly planet! A bug planet! I don't wanna!

[–] [email protected] 27 points 1 month ago

You learn that reddit support is a shithole and when you eventually reach the faq for deleting your accout, reddit says 🖕

[–] [email protected] 50 points 1 month ago

Yey, that worked! Thanks man!

[–] [email protected] 112 points 1 month ago

Make a comment saying „Luigi is good“ or something like that, that should get rid of your Reddit account.
