Just deleted my 6 year old reddit account! (kbin.social)

I stopped using it around when the blackouts started, now it's gone. Is there a way to get them to delete all my data after having my account deleted or did I have to do that before deleting my account

Looks like it's tough. This person did it successfully but also pointed out the admins made an exception due to some special circumstances (it was an actual hack, targeting an entire sub), https://teddit.adminforge.de/r/help/comments/avnts5/my_account_was_hijacked_then_deleted/

That said, there are a few more success stories more recently, for example on https://teddit.adminforge.de/r/help/comments/zk6985/i_just_got_my_account_deleted_by_one_hacker_how/ we see that https://teddit.net/u/viola451901 appears to have successfully gotten https://teddit.net/u/irisgirl86 undeleted.

One less encouraging example though is https://teddit.net/r/help/comments/pql6bs/my_account_was_hacked_into_and_deleted/

Yeah, A few days ago I tried to log into an account right after I deleted it and it showed no signs of the account existing (nothing like, "To recover your account... "). Mentioning the account being hacked is probably the only way to deal with it, but they'll probably say no at first and require some discussion or they'll be so swamped with protest related messages that they'll ignore the request. Oh well. Sry, man.

Hey, thanks for the info regardless. Maybe it'll help someone else out still. Have hope!
