    So, when your account is banned on Reddit, does that remove all your posts? Because that would be cool. I left Reddit back in mid 2023 and came to Lemmy. I tried to delete all my old posts there, but they wouldn’t let me. I tried editing them and they reverted back to their original form. When I deleted them, they appeared to be deleted while I was logged in, but if I logged into another account the posts were still there. If getting a ban will get them deleted finally, then that would be well worth paying that cesspool a visit for a while.

      I used react.dev to change all of my posts to say “[date] As per the legal owner of this account, Reddit and associated companies no longer have permission to use the content created under this account in any way.”

      I figured it sounds like something a lawyer would tell me to put. Just checked and my old posts still say that.

      Though interestingly there was a silly fan theory I posted there that some shit entertainment media sites linked to and when I first changed the posts those sites were displaying that message. I’ve checked again and somehow they have the text from my post on there now. So that’s pretty weird.
