Sorry for the stupid question but what exactly does this do? I haven’t logged on reddit since the blackout and would like to totally wipe my account but not sure what’s the best way.
Pretty sure the last line of image is not correct anyway: AFAIK doing this doesn’t wipe your data; it requests Reddit to compile a report on all the data they have on you. It does still waste time of the employees, which spez/Reddit ultimately have to pay for… But doesn’t do fuckall for removing data unfortunately. At least that was the impression I got from reading their page on it and googling.
Would love if it did… I already deleted all my comments and posts (the hard way… over the course of many bathroom breaks) but I still don’t like them having ip logs and browsing history which I can guarantee you that they keep. And AFAIK they are under no legal obligation to delete that kind of data, especially for users in the US, but I think even for Europe, ip address/email/browsing history/screen name would not be considered as personal identifying information (pii) in most cases and probably no way to force them to get rid of it, unless you’re some kind of 1337 h4x0r dude.
I can help you if you want. I suggest using Power Delete Suite to first overwrite and then delete your history, and then making the suggested data request.

Reddit keeps undeleting that though, even if you’ve been using reddit from an EU ip all the time (which would mean you are protected by GDPR)
