Reddit is actively restoring deleted comments and posts. Deleting your account won’t make any useful difference. Instead:
- Keep the account around but use some tool to delete all comments and posts everyday. I use Redact app on Android but there’re many others. Reddit would not be restoring comments and posts if they are not useful to them. By keeping your profile and keep deleting everything, you are denying Reddit any chance from making use of your data.
- Monitor when subreddit opens poll for re-opening and vote the “best” option.
Too late, already did it. Since I posted on a lot of reddit support subs, I’m not deleting my posts. Someone said the only real form of protest we have as users is to delete our accounts; I agree.
problem is you gave them what is valuable. Your IP that they can sell to LLM/AI training.
