I was a redditor for 15 fucking years before they suspended all of my accounts after a mod permabanned me from /politics and I accidentally posted from another account weeks later.

I posted A LOT over those years, from a ton of various accounts. (One of my biggest fears was getting doxxed so I had a bunch of burners and accounts for specific niche interests and such.)

Yes 100%. They have an EU presence so this applies to all the data they hold about anyone.

Quite a longer process I think. In the end the only nice thing I got from this whole mess is to discover lemmy. I also suggest everyone to check Mastodon as Twitter alternative. Fk monopolies ✊️
