As I write this I literally have a script ( https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite ) running deleting all posts and comments I made so I can delete my accounts and leave them with nothing. The last couple of days they have been prompting people to provide identification documents to access their accounts. This is going to start becoming more prevalent on platforms. I always hated the site but that’s crossed the line for me. So purpose of this post is just to give people a heads up while they still have access if they want to remove their data and / or delete the peice of shit from their life once and for all.
Thanks SCOTUS for making our lives SO much more difficult…that Paxton decision was the worst thing since the overturn of Roe.
you should all know that reddit can, and has, restored comments that have been “shredded” by tools like this so they can be used to train AI. they can obviously restore deleted content as well, because it’s never deleted, just marked as deleted in the database.
That’s illegal under GDPR, if true
If you have tangible evidence of this claim, please document it online and report it to the government
That would first require you to identify yourself.
Your deleted posts are still archived and actively being used to train AI and being sold to 3rd parties. Reddit has that data forever. All you are doing by deleting them is denying actual humans access to them.

Okay, and? Actual humans using Reddit still directly profits Reddit and reinforces its hegemony. OP is still making a small but direct impact regardless of how entitled you ostensibly feel to their work.
Exactly, it’s still important to take that content down
Just pointing it out to OP that deleting your posts isn’t some magic “you don’t have my data anymore” button. By all means, do whatever you can to hurt reddit, I just want people to understand what is actually happening when they click that delete button.
