Reddit decided that i can’t delete my account, i tried several times with no luck. Do you have ideas? Should i get myself banned?

Try the website, old.reddit.com in particular.
-
You can check out any time you want.
But you can never leave.

Well I'm glad I've deleted all my Reddit account before chaos on there
-
That's funny. I live in a small country so I can't stop being banned. All I have to do is comment "hey" and my account is gone instantly.
-
Wow

So when I deleted my account a few years back, i hade a Firefox script delete all my posts and comments.
Then i created a ticket for support asking to apply my right to be forgotten, according tomy GDPR rights and also a written confirmation that my content would not be recreated after deletion.
They will play hard but just say that you then will need their official information such as conpony name, adress, phone number, email, reg number and preferred communication method for your local data authority to contact them.

They complied with my request without any fuss. I didn't even have access to my account due to losing my 2fa device.

Just send a GDPR deletion request. You can find ready made texts online. Just plug in your email/username and send it. Make sure to request a confirmation of the deletion.

Make a comment saying „Luigi is good“ or something like that, that should get rid of your Reddit account.
-
Try using the site?
-
Yey, that worked! Thanks man!

"Oh no. Our automatic door seems to have suffered a unfortunate malfunction while you were trying to leave the premises."

What happens when you click learn more?

I believe you're then obligated to deploy to Klendathu within 3 months.

But it's an ugly planet! A bug planet! I don't wanna!

You learn that reddit support is a shithole and when you eventually reach the faq for deleting your accout, reddit says 🖕
-
-
There was a browser add-on that removes or edits all your Reddit messages. Can't recall the name though.
-
This doesn't work anymore they shut down the api , if your in a gdpr country just enforce your right.
-
Hypothetically, if you live in
freedomburger land could you use a VPN and claim gdpr enforcement? Or is there more to it? -
It works.

Whether it works on the back end and they'll restore your comments or not as a different story.

I remember it using the API, which is supposedly disabled now. There are warnings on early Lemmy posts to use the tool before Reddit rolls out the changes.
-
I believe it might have been called Power Delete Suite
