Grab your reddit data before deleting your account.

Yep. Just requested mine yesterday. As soon as it comes through, I'll archive it.

I won't delete my account, because if there's a chance my stupid posts and comments can help someone.

I've decided that I'm going to throw my toys out the pram.

Delete all the comments, leave it a few months and then delete the accounts.

I guess I'm an odd redditor then because I have a habit of regularly checking out people's post history if I find their posts interesting.

I (used to) hang out a lot in smaller subs though where you see a lot of the same names.

There's a data export page. You need to specify if you're making a GDPR, CCPA, or other type of request. Does that impact the completeness of the data included? Does it impact how quickly it's addressed?

Is there any good place to host this data so people can still search it without having to use reddit?

so people can still search it

See, this is basically why I probably won't delete my Reddit comments and posts.

Not to toot my own horn or anything, but I'd like to think that I have contributed at least a little bit and been somewhat helpful during my 11 years on Reddit, and I want people to still be able to find whatever they might want to find there, while keeping the context of it alive too.
