Sounds terrible, in fact, I don't conserve for many years the accounts I have created on mainstream social media, but reddit feels different, if I were you I wpuld feel very angry and sad, 17 years of your stories!!!, unfortunately we know how this comanies works and does not allow users to appeal, feel free to express your ideas on the fediverse, I would like to see your account and mine on the 20 anniversary, good luck.
