Reddit keeps undeleting my account and posts. Is there anything I can do as an American Citizen? (lemmy.world)

This is pissing me off to no end. I went on reddit and signed in out of habbit as I have a couple times already and before my account was gone and it wouldnt let me sign in.

Now I did it again and realized that my account actually was undeleted and allowed me to login AND all the posts that I overwrited and deleted with Power Delete Suite where back. I am so pissed right now.

I wonder if these undeletions are just the Content Delivery Networks (CDNs) taking time to sync up?

So you login to one Reddit instance and delete/modify all your posts. This will take time to trickle down to all the other servers in the network. When you next login you are logging into a different reddit instance that has not yet synced up all the changes you made.

For example where I am there are four reddit servers when I check the DNS for reddit.com

Just a theory that might explain what people are seeing. That said with the behaviour of reddit admins over the last few weeks I wouldn't put it past them to be undeleting though.
