Reddit keeps undeleting my account and posts. Is there anything I can do as an American Citizen? (lemmy.world)

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.

Well shit. Deleted all my comments yesterday and today they are all back.

I was made aware of this tool Redact - which deletes your digital footprint.
That might be something worth trying?

I did look into it yesterday but the closed-source nature of it and having to share one's login data does seem kinda sus.

@Rick @kriss0706

Handing over credentials to a potential bad actor is absolutely a valid concern.. unless you didn't verify email and have no interest in using the account again.

In that case it becomes an effective means of protest. ;)

interesting way of looking at it :D

I've used this tool. It deleted my history.

I then checked by googling "reddit {username}" and found a bunch of comments that were restored.

Reddit is playing games.
