I found a plug-in for Firefox that deletes all posts and comments from your reddit account. (Power Delete Suite). Now I am in talks with reddit, to have them delete my account and data.
They say that all content will be disassociated when I delete my account but I had them confirm that they won’t recreate it when I have deleted it. They still say that they will retain the IP used for creating the account. Not sure if this is legitimate data redemption after I have asked for my data to be deleted according to GDPR?
That’s not what’s happening here. I have used a script (not this one), it went through all my comments, overwrote them, and I checked my reddit profile and it was all gone.
Then, several days later, some comments were back again.
I ran the script again to delete those, and again reddit showed me that, in fact, they were gone. Only to have some of them reappear later… I think I ran that script about four times.
Now, I’m not saying this is intentional, because there was no rhyme nor reason which ones, though all of them were older and older every time I ran the script. I guess something in the backend of reddit isn’t working as intended, but it is, as a matter of fact, reddit who has copies of your comments and edits and reinstates them.
