Please don't delete your account. Reddit has been desperately restoring deleted comments and posts. Keep your account and keep deleting your comments and posts.
GDPR or deleting your account would still leave your comments and posts up, just not associated with your account. It's more useful to remain and keep deleting whatever they try to restore.
No. To be honest despite having done an overwrite and deletion I'm kind of paranoid now that my account won't restore comments. So I'm not sure I'll delete the account itself even though I abandoned it to make sure. Maybe a GDPR deletion request is a route I'll get to in order to make sure.
I was really in two minds about deleting my comment history. I decided not to. Some of it is the kind of stuff that might just help me in a few years when I've forgotten my previous solutions and Google them all over again.
I did a GDPR request on my data. As soon as they reply I intend to delete all. No soft delete, really delete. I want to make sure the stuff is out of their servers.
Nah but I haven't logged in yet. I will probably delete it at some point but leave the comments up. I'm fine with leaving whatever value I have contributed on Reddit. It's their website and they own the content I willfully added. But I won't contribute more.
I've removed all of my many years of comments (edited them first, so if they restore my comments they get strings of randomly-generated words to screw up the data feed going to the LLM text-scrapers), but I will not be deleting my account. I want to keep it operational so that I can see if they try to restore my stuff, then remove it again if they do.
I've kept my last two weeks of comments, so that the Rexxit discussion is still alive. I'll purge everything else that's not Rexxit-related on the 30th.
