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?

      Doesn’t matter don’t do it.

      A few months back someone posted that they found all of their deleted posts from when the great migration to Lemmy happened. And I checked myself that day and found that a large portion of my posts that I had deleted were restored. And I had verified the day that I had left Reddit that my posts were gone. There was no history on my account. And if I look right now those posts exist again.

        I recommend using a tool to scramble all of your comments, waiting a while, and then deleting. Check back every few days to verify deletion before ultimately closing your account. For some reason, if a subreddit is hidden or closed, you can delete your messages from there until it’s reopened.

        I spent about 2 weeks deleting my accounts from reddit during the mobile app exodus.
