"Vendo" literally means to sell, while "desero" means to desert or forsake. Either is viable, it more so depends on the emphasis you're looking for. Maybe make the verb passive since you're referring to the actor acting upon itself and use a stronger word for "you" like "temet."

No problem at all my friend, always nice to talk Latin in a thread that isn't shit."Temet" is emphatic, meaning that the form itself gives emphasis. "Tu ipse" could be used as well with the same meaning, I just personally prefer "temet" because it's older and "-met" is used in one of my favorite sections of the Aeneid:
"Durate, et vosmet rebus servate secundis"

Vae victus - "victus" is a nominative singular perfect passive participle meaning "the one who was conquered", the phrase is really "vae victis," a very easy mistake. "Victis" is the dative plural perfect passive participle of "victus," with the phrase using dative as an indirect object of "vae," meaning "woe to the one who were conquered."
Tu es persona non grata - technically correct, however in Classical Latin the verb is placed at the end of the sentence most of the time in speech. Also, "persona" was not typically used as a reference to a person in Classical Latin (insted it meant a mask or a character in a play, hence the phrase "dramatis personae" in plays). A better word might be "homo" ("Tu homo non grata es"), but I think "Tu non grata es" is a more punchy phrase without either.
Reddit delera est - very close, you're thinking of Cato's famous call "Karthago delenda est." This phrase is a representation of an important Latin construction called the passive periphrastic. This form is made up of a gerundive (a verbal adjective, "delenda" here) matching the case, number, and gender of its subject and a form of "sum" in order to give the meaning of something that ought or must be done. If we take "reddit" as a nominative, singular, and masculine, the phrase should be "Reddit delendus est."
So, maybe
>Vae victis + tu non grata es
>reddit delendus est

Victus was a mistake and the same goes for delera, I was only using persona non grata because it's a known phrase, although I appreciate the information about homo vs persona and I should've probably put the verb at the end.
I was only saying those phrases because they are famous, I don't think we need to change reddit's gender. Reddit can be a woman.

Thank you! I've been studying for 7 years now (since high school) and being completely honest, Vergil has been the main author I go back to when I'm in a rut. Whether it be the Aeneid, Eclogues, or Georgics - they give me hope to start again and keep on going, remembering that Latin is the most beautiful language (maybe) in all existence and how I want others to see the beauty of its form. Remember: never skimp on Vergil!

The Georgics aren't just a guide to bee-keeping (there's a lot of other practical advice advice as well), just like Works and Days isn't just a practical guide to farming. Virgil is taking part in a poetic tradition of didactic poetry which gives numerous stories to mythologically contextualize practices, such as the practice of bee-keeping being related to Aristaeus' story in book 4.
