Just deleted my 12+ year account on Reddit and I'm still feeling weird.

Was a long time lurker. My grand total of upvotes reached 4K!

I used Redact to remove my comments; there were so few posts I could delete them on my own.

Experiencing those feelings of 'oh, this is a toxic relationship; but I really don't want to leave because there's this groove and so much history'

That's it. It is HISTORY.

and now I'm out

I had 130K+ karma, and after my eighth "permaban," I decided to stop fighting it. I pissed off a couple of power mods, and they began abusing the report function. Calling them out by name got me "unbanned" every single time, but I'm done at this point.... Reddit is dying, and I don't care.

You got permabanned eight times AND got unbanned seven times - how the hell did you manage that? I've been permabanned exactly once, and havent managed to get unbanned despite several appeals. How did you work out who had you banned? I cant see it in my case

Jeez guys, stop deleting your account until you are SURE reddit stopped restoring your content. Every week I check and see some comments and posts of mine being restored. I take screenshots for proof and report them under GDPR law. If you erase your account, you have no more power.

Erase your content, not your account.

I deleted my account after 8 and a half years after the API changes took affect and since then, I haven't really missed it. Besides the API changes, the other decisions the admins have made shows that either they're intentionally trying to run Reddit into the ground or they're incredibly incompetent. Regardless, Reddit has shown it's a platform I no longer want to be a part of.
