I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.
On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.
The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.
I probably wouldn‘t remove the account itself
Otherwise you can‘t remove them again when they get restored by the admins
Yeah. I deleted my content and account. Next day content was back, but my account was still gone.
Do you live in Europe? Perhaps you can request the Right to be Forgotten (GDPR). If a lot of European do it, that might pressure Reddit.
You can also make a request under the CCPA if you live in California and the DPA if you live in the UK.
Unfortunately no enforceable measures that I am aware of for residence of New England.
I think they would just use the normal account deletion procedure, so all comments would still be there just with a “deleted user” user
