I’ve manually removed all my posts before deleting the account and they are still available … This is total bullshit but I still I will never have second thought.
Although there are personal information on some of these posts (eg. link to Github with my first/last name in it), so maybe I can press charge or something …
I was reading that Reddit was restoring deleted posts from a backup. Apparently the correct route was to use a tool to mass edit all your posts to something that would have been saved in a backup. I just left all mine, because I didn’t think about it until after the API was limited and the tools stopped working.
I feel like they already violated GDPR if there is at least a very seriously misleading “remove” button that doesn’t remove anything except your pseudo.
In France, CNIL (our data protection authority) appears to have a form to address this kind of complaint 👍

goddamn, the only regret i have is forgetting to delete all my posts before deleting, i thought they’d delete automatically
If you are European GDPR applies to you and you are probably in a good position to sue if they don’t delete your data.
