I deleted everything a couple of weeks ago. I verified that it was gone, both logged in and logged out on a different network.
I then deleted my account.
Then a few days ago, I followed up on a rumour that Reddit was restoring deleted content and found that at least some of my content was back, albeit with no username.
But, and here is the interesting part, using a search engine to search my username on Reddit took me to content I had deleted, even though the UI still showed [deleted] for the username. Of course, that could be some kind of search engine caching, not an invisible association with a supposedly deleted account.
It’s entirely possible that I’m doing something wrong or misinterpreting something, but maybe take deletion with a grain of salt without invoking one of the associated laws available in some jurisdictions.
I cannot know your experience and won’t pretend to.
Unless your objective is to be even more disliked and disrespected than you are now, being deliberately annoying will not get you far.
If you just want respect as a thinking, feeling human, you’re going to have to be respectful of other thinking, feeling humans, ignoring and blocking those who are too immature to have respect for others.
There are people out there who think that power is the source of respect. They are, of course, wrong. The only path to respect is through the elimination of power structures, so that respect can be mutually sought through understanding, not obedience.
I don’t like assholes, so I don’t seek them out. I try to give the assholes who engage with me the respectful engagement they crave but don’t deserve, then block the ones who stay assholes. If I feel surrounded by assholes, I disengage completely until I’ve figured out whether I’m actually the asshole or I’ve stumbled into a snakepit. (And everybody is sometimes an asshole. The secret is to not make it part of your identity or to assume that it’s part of theirs.)
Life is so much more pleasant when disagreements are respectful engagements with learning opportunities instead of just screaming matches.
Good luck on your journey.
