Would breaking a ton of rules and getting the account banned remove all the content?
I don't think so, your comments should still be there, only the account appears as [deleted].
I think it can if you use power delete suite to edit all your comments but dont delete them. I'm hoping it trips up the detection and I would recommend people do the same
Yes, overwriting with gibberish is better than deleting, especially since reddit has backups and I've seen a few people saying their stuff was restored.
Apps unfortunately have limits in how many posts/comments they can fetch, but overwriting some is better than nothing I guess.
Yeah, it seems if you run power delete suite a few times it covers them all, I had it edit about 4000 comments with "I deleted my reddit account and all my comments and posts but reddit has decided to undelete my account and comments so I have decided to let people know. Fuck this stupid site"
I tried to use power delete to download my stuff, but it always truncated data, I guess I was too much active on reddit lol, I also tried going one sub at a time but it was too much hassle, so I sent a GDPR request, much easier.
Deleting now won't work I think, reddit is monitoring very closely what people are doing, they're trying to limit the damage as much as possible.
I wish I lived in the EU lmao I envy your guys privacy laws
Doesn't make much difference with Reddit - I have seen plenty of people say that they have tried submitting GDPR requests and never received anything.
One can only hope that reddit will be hit by a billion dollar fine from the EU lol
Loved the place but it's gone to shit and now they want to ubermonetize it. It was never run like a business and now they complain that it's not making money like a business should. Fuck em
Always check up with local data protection authorities, and if those dont properly handle your request either you can take legal action against either. As a citizen of the EU it is your right to do so.
