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.
Just a heads up, they’re not doing this to everyone, I deleted my account once and it has stayed deleted. YMMV.
You deleted your account yes, but they are rolling back comment deletions which is what this post is about. If you delete your account, you’ll no longer be able to get eyes on what Reddit has restored of yours and they can quietly restore your content without your knowledge.
It’s a game of cat and mouse currently in regards to protecting what you’ve previously submitted to reddit.
same here… I deleted mine the day before the blackout and it’s still gone
