Basically what I mean is, did you also come here from reddit?

I came here after I got my Reddit account banned permanently. And the thing is, I don't exactly know why I got banned. Nor what I did wrong. I always tried to follow the rules, post and comment appropriately and nicely, but on New Year's Day last week, I got a message simply saying "Your account have been permanently banned for violating the rules.

But when I replied asking what rule or rules I unknowingly broke, they just messaged me back saying "you got banned because you violated the community guidelines". So now I'm here.

What about you? Are you also a Reddit Refugee?

I left with the disabling of API.

Today, I went back in to my account to delete every single comment I have ever made, one by one, then deleted the entire account. Should have done it ages ago, but better now than never.

I was reading about bans and stuff and all sorts that I didn't care to understand, so instead of using a third party apps to change/delete/etc my comments, I did it manually. It felt pretty satisfying.

My last "fuck you, r/jailbait Spez". I'm not letting them use my comments or account for anything. Hopefully, I've done it right.

They see that happening and just restore all of the deleted comments anyway.

Damn.. Thought I had it right. 😔

You’ve gotta replace the comments so that the new comment is what’s backed up. When it’s restored by Reddit it’ll be the Gibberish you left behind in your edit.

Take note, those who haven't deleted their Reddit accounts yet. Don't do what I did - do this instead!
