    Why does Spez want to to sell data? To buy a new yacht?

    I will delete my data from Reddit then.

        There were some scripts for it. But i can still find my comments and posts trough Google after deleting them.

        Dont think reddit will let you take “their” (your) content away.

          Oh, shit you’re right.

          I wiped my whole profile years ago (with a script that overwrites your comments before deleting) but they’re still visible everywhere except in my profile.

          Isn’t this bullshit illegal?

            Try out Shreddit, it’s a web app for exactly this. It even lets you filter by post karma so you can keep your hits. I’ve never used it but that’s the name that came up over on Reddit from everyone talking about the announcement.

              Well, here’s the problem; my profile is completely empty. There’s nothing left to delete.
              There are no comments, submissions or anything there, but when I go to a thread via google (or a link), all my comments are still present.

          There should be a way to do it under GDPR

            I filed a right to erasure request as well. Never got a response/nothing happened, but currently not in the position to take them to court over it.
