    Save the media. Don’t base your identity on a username. Realise that you’ve salted the earth and delete the now-toxic accounts. That’s kind of the whole point of anon forums, you don’t have to drag a reputation around with you.
    There’s a different perspective here, which I think you might be missing: the stakes you’re talking about are so low as to be negligible, from an outside perspective. You don’t have to be as worried about this issue as you are. I think the advice you’ve gotten on this thread so far is sound. Take some time, take some distance. Do something else for a while and shift your focus. You’ll start to see things differently. Get distracted. Part of being independent is doing the shit our parents used to do for us, and one of those is distracting yourself from unnecessary bullshit. I’m an extremely obsessive person myself, and learning when and how to let shit go is as liberating as it is seemingly impossible. I honestly can’t recommend it enough.
    All this is said with love, and I hope you find your way, internet stranger.

        From what I observe and gather, it is that reddit usage is working as they intend it. I.e. it is not designed to be effective because it does not add value to their IPO goals. It may not be the answer to your question, but more so an explanation of why your question does not have a good answer. You can try barking up more trees because legitimately it seems like your case is an abuse of their rules or terms but ultimately there is not much recourse you can do to force their hand to follow their own policies.
