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.
You can tell the protests are working by how insistent they try to get us to believe it isn’t.
