Well I’ve cleared everything off my Reddit account but I can’t bring myself to delete it, it’s not a 100% deletion, Reddit keeps the username, I don’t want Reddit to claim anything functional or not, I want it to be like I was never there, the mistake of me even being on Reddit, maybe one day when usernames are no longer such a permanence, where a person could leave their account entirely with nothing to look back on.

And that is the trap I’m in, At best I can only hope, hope that somehow Reddit changes… as impossible as that is. I would leave Reddit If it didn’t hold on to usernames, accounts like Reddit keep your username “accounts like Reddit keep your username”. Believe me I want to leave Reddit, but I want to leave reddit 100% usernames included, like I was never there, unfortunately there’s no Digital Privacy Policy Act I can turn to that would give me such an erasure. So either Reddit improves not going to happen, or I find a way to delete my Reddit account 100%, no such thing.

Doesn’t mean I have to like it. When my only option is to complain/vent/share my thoughts, then that’s what I’ll do. I understand a person like myself can’t change something as big as Reddit, like those who hate AI, if it is what it is then why do people complain if nothing will change?

New to Lemme, and I thought of posting the same post in two different forms Lemmy.World and Lemmy.ca would cast a wider info net so to speak, It was a spur of the moment kind of thing, Reddit was kind of annoying me with its permanence, usernames can’t be reused, Its algorithms flag almost anything and as the posts say there’s no way to give feedback so plan B, post in places outside of Reddit to raise awareness of Reddit’s inefficiencies.

What’s better Lemmy.World or Lemmy.ca?

I get what you’re saying, but in my case the removals weren’t the normal ‘pending review’ type. The posts were removed instantly across multiple subs, my modmail was auto‑muted, and the ban reason specifically referenced AI‑generated content. That combination only happens when Reddit’s automated system flags an account. So the mods did ban me, but they were reacting to Reddit’s AI label, not the actual content.

From what I can tell, the initial removal wasn’t the mods — it was Reddit’s automated AI filter. After that, every post I made was auto‑removed before any human could see it, and the mods only saw the AI removal notice. So the ban came from them, but the trigger came from Reddit’s system. That’s why it felt like I was being punished for something I didn’t do.

AI chat MC (Microsoft Copilot) guided me here, I have many dreams for online accounts alternative paths no longer needing usernames so a person can leave delete their account and someday return using their own name if they want as my Lemmy profile states I fight for digital rights, the permanence of accounts feels unnecessary uncomfortable. Lemmy itself needs a better way to delete unnecessary posts and comments but you’re right it’s a far better leap from Reddit strict dictatorial moderations, regret not using MC in that post perhaps it would have simply gotten rejected and not gotten me banned and muted, needless to say the first place MC requested I send it, did not like me, alas I cannot delete my mistakes on Lemmy, yet at least I am not silenced, so far.

You cannot help with this I’m sorry to say, I just need a place to vent about Reddit’s asinine algorithms I use AI chat (Microsoft Copilot) freely and proudly to censor my own words and make me acceptable on platforms but the rare moment I used my own words this happened my post rejected band and muted, now unless you can change the way Reddit operates you can’t help me. I’d sooner trust an AI than I would another human emcee in particular so when it told me to go on to Lemmy Fuck AI, to complain about Reddit’s AI, while using AI! Yet still I trusted MC to the point where some people began pointing out the irony, “AI is what it is, it is what it will be” but Reddit’s AI is old, outdated and Reddit it itself cannot do criticism, even feedback, it’s like North Korea.
