The fact that Reddit can still tell you that the user deleted their account is proof that not all of that user’s data in their systems are deleted. It may just be a flag in an account that marks them as “deleted”, and so whenever data about that account is being retrieved, their API server will look at that flag, and tell the recipient that the account is “deleted”. People in the software industry calls this “soft deletion”.

I learned in SQL class that you never ever hard delete data when there is any alternative. On Facebook and Twitter you get a whole month to change your mind before your account can't be recovered.

Bruh I logged into my Spotify account and it reactivated the Facebook account I had requested be deleted a more than a year prior

Based.

But on a serious note I was getting really sick of reddit (especially the default/large subs) even before this debacle with third party apps. But I am not sure how much it's me that have changed and how much it's actually reddit having changed. I guess it's a bit/a lot of both.

f7u12 was a long time ago now

[–] persolb@lemmy.ml 15 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I don’t know how anyone used Reddit without unsubscribing from the default subs. There was just so much stupid stuff…

(I see the irony of saying this in shitposts… but I’ll probably unsubscribe from here too when it gets bigger)

When I was younger, I had so much more free time to argue with detail-oriented people who would quote my whole post but with interruptions to nitpick each sentence.

Now I'm like "well now they're just deliberately not getting it."

[–] wnose@kbin.social 42 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I was a member of reddit for 15 years and accumulated 150K in karma. 1 week ago, I was shadowbanned - probably because I suggested kbin.social multiple times. No reason, no warning - just total ban. I can still logon but nobody else can see my posts or history. F**kers.

[–] CustodialTeapot@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Probably a good thing. Means they can't undelete/unedit your posts even after you deleted your account or edited your posts.

Did the same thing two weeks ago. It was an 11 year old account.

Now it's all gone. Every bit of advice I gave, things I learned, knowledge I passed along, and pointless arguments I had, have all gone to the bit bucket.

And I feel good about it.

Agreed. I show this in a class that I teach most semesters. It holds up surprisingly well.

[–] Espresso@lemmy.world 11 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I’ve been searching on Google for info that I mostly find on Reddit. I’ve come across several deleted posts and I’m like man I need that piece of info :(. But I get it because I deleted my long-time account too. Hopefully we’ll soon build Lemmy to become a helpful source.

[–] willeypete23@reddthat.com 4 points 1 year ago

You can still find those answers without giving Reddit any ad revenue. All you have to do is take the link from Google copy it. Go up to the URL bar and type cache: and the link.

You used to be able to open the hamburger menu next to Google search results and directly view a cached page. This is doing the same thing, Google just took away the button.

Nuked mine on the 30th when Apollo went down. Ten years, secret Santa, snack exchanges, all kinds of discussions from people all over the world. All burned because of one rich cunt who just has to be richer.

Bittersweet to leave but this feels like a new beginning, chance to find new communities that aren’t sponsored or bot driven

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 9 points 1 year ago

Nearly 9 years for me. Thousands of comments and links. Nuked the lot. Mixed feelings but to hell with spez.

[–] jep@sopuli.xyz 3 points 1 year ago

I'm not sure I'll be able to delete my account. Over 10 years as well, so much content saved and so many memories. This almost feels like a breakup where I am both glad that it happened but sad that it's over.

[–] Ascend910@lemmy.ml 27 points 1 year ago (1 children)

TBH It was a fun journey, but sadly all good things must come to an end. And now it is up to us, the Lemmy community to create a fun place for others.

[–] overlyanxious@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 year ago

Im lowkey loving this site way more. the option to switch servers and go to smaller communities is sick to me

[–] Thcgrasscity@lemmy.ca 27 points 1 year ago (2 children)

I clicked a link that brought me to reddit yesterday, and you know ehat i noticed on the 5 month old thread? A bunch of deleted user names but the comments and info shared was still there under deleted

[–] thermal_shock@lemmy.world 8 points 1 year ago

They deleted their account without deleting the comment. It has always been this way in my experience.

[–] silenium_dev@etaorion.org 7 points 1 year ago (2 children)

This is illegal, at least under the GDPR, so Reddit could be sued about that.

Disclaimer: I'm no lawyer, so this is no legal advice and I could be wrong.

[–] persolb@lemmy.ml 8 points 1 year ago

My understanding is that it is only illegal if the information is personally identifiable… and posting such was against the rules anyway.

It still pisses me off that they decided to rate limit comment edits/deletes just as everyone was making the exodus.

[–] LopensLeftArm@sh.itjust.works 23 points 1 year ago

Fuck u/spez, that greedy little pig boy.

[–] revlayle@lemm.ee 22 points 1 year ago (3 children)

Just deleted mine after seeing this. My reason for leaving comment: "Pee pee poo poo"

That's about as good a reason for deleting an account as I've ever seen.

Yesterday I finally did it also, deleted my Twitter account from 2008 and my Reddit account from 2006. It's better like that. I still have Instagram and Facebook which is more difficult to delete because that's where friends and family still post who I would like to stay in touch with.

[–] foofiepie@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Welcome muhyb, welcome.

Come sit down and rest. We have vintage memes on draught. There are many refugees here. It is good.

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 9 points 1 year ago

Thanks. Old memes are better anyway.

[–] Xeknos@lemmy.world 19 points 1 year ago (1 children)

I deleted a few weeks ago. I never left any personally identifiable comments, but I do miss the platform. It's a shame what greed does to people.

[–] GoodEye8@lemm.ee 8 points 1 year ago

This is pretty much why I'm in favor of worker coops or any other form of democratizing the work place. All it takes is a greedy CEO or a shareholder board wanting increasing profits to ruin a good thing. If the workers themselves are the ones making those decisions, then you need to convince the majority of the company to ruin a good thing. Somehow I doubt the people doing the actual work at Reddit would've decided to fuck the site like that.

[–] Bogasse@lemmy.world 13 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I've manually removed all my posts before deleting the account and they are still available ... This is total bullshit but I still I will never have second thought.

Although there are personal information on some of these posts (eg. link to Github with my first/last name in it), so maybe I can press charge or something ...

[–] zuleto@lemmy.world 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

If you are European GDPR applies to you and you are probably in a good position to sue if they don't delete your data.

I work in IT and the forums for that are the only reason I still have an account. But I rarely use it and will delete when hopefully the Lemmy community grows to include those as well

[–] Vector@lemmy.world 6 points 1 year ago

Depends on what area of IT you’re in as to whether or not this is even relevant, but have you seen the https://programming.dev/ Lemmy instance?

230k karma, 0 posts in Q3 2023. Fuck you spez

[–] Senseless@feddit.de 4 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago)

190k karma, 0 posts, 0 comments.

Changed every 2,8k comments to "Fuck u/spez" before deleting it. Just in case they get restored.

Used PowerDeleteSuite if anyone is wondering.

[–] GustavoM@lemmy.world 7 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

reddit bad

pls gibe upvotes

thx

[–] muhyb@programming.dev 4 points 1 year ago (3 children)

I think that doesn't really work like that here, since we don't have fake dopamine flakes (a.k.a karma).

I was u/aeughfish. Reddit sucked to the point to where I deleted my account. It had over 20,000 karma.
