    Inb4 they don’t actually delete your account… I’ve seen people dealing with their account still existing long after they requested it to be deleted.

      I ran a script to over write and delete my comments, but left the account open as a placeholder.

      Have still received comment replies to my posts twice. When I went to see the comment it was deleted.

        A lot of your old history is not accessible from within your comment history in your profile. Reddit is just broken spaghetti code in a lot of ways.

        When I did this I got a zillion automated PM’s from some bot whining about, “Please stop running a script on our sub!”

        Yeah? Get fucked. I was tempted to run it again just to be an ass. But I have things to do.

        if you request all of your reddit account data they provide you with every comment/ edited or deleted, from memory anyway

        dont post things on the internet that you dont want other people to see, as a reminder
