I got permabanned for reporting anti-theisitc and transphobic trolls for being insulting edgelords. Weirdly enough they still let you delete your account even when it’s been banned.
I wish Lemmy was as active as Reddit, I miss my niche subreddits. Where am I going to go to talk about philosophy and Sonic? And seriously, where’s the damn porn?

They don’t delete your account automatically, because then they can legally keep using all of your data. Once you delete, they have a legal obligation to delete almost all of that data, as per GDPR. Not sure about outside EU, but honestly it may very well be the same or similar. Sometimes it’s cheaper to implement GDPR worldwide, instead of on a per region basis.
There are scripts you can use to blank out all your comments and posts before deleting, but I guess they’re wise to that and can auto-restore the missing content. It kills me that my thousands and thousands of comments are still feeding the site and its AI, but I can’t go in and remove it. But them’s the ToS I agreed to because they had neat articles.

I deleted my account a few months ago. I don’t miss any of the big subs, because that sort of content is on here too. But there are some niche topics that simply don’t have enough traffic here to support good discussion.

I just did that and 5 of the top 6 results were about reddit.
Sad.
