Reddit is actively restoring deleted comments and posts. Deleting your account won't make any useful difference. Instead:

  • Keep the account around but use some tool to delete all comments and posts everyday. I use Redact app on Android but there're many others. Reddit would not be restoring comments and posts if they are not useful to them. By keeping your profile and keep deleting everything, you are denying Reddit any chance from making use of your data.
  • Monitor when subreddit opens poll for re-opening and vote the "best" option.

Everyone so eager to perpetuate the stereotype of 'reddit mods as pear-shaped scraggly mall ninja types that have a death grip on Banhammer and are internet addicts.'

Basically everyone looking for a group to mock that nobody will tell them they can't.

It's a roundabout way to mock neurodivergent people. People can flat out mock autistic traits and then be like "god redditors are the worst" and other people will agree. Of course, it's never about the people who say these things's use of reddit or their friends' use of reddit. It's not just reddit that this applies to, either. Or even neurodivergency. It can also be used more generally to be racist, homophobic, transphobic....
