What is the best most effective way to delete my Reddit post history and account.
I have seen people mention programs that they use to go through and delete their entire Reddit history, or edit their posts and replacing the content with a single word, and then deleting their account.
I do not use it like I used to, so I would like to get rid of every digital fingerprint that I can on the site.
Any help or advice would be appreciated!
An account deletion will remove your profile and dissociate posts and comments from your username. That is not enough?
Have you tried asking them to delete them through
redditdatarequests@reddit.com?See https://www.reddit.com/policies/privacy-policy#policy-h2-2
Nope! That is not enough.
I want to edit every single comment or post that I ever made and replace it with a single word or phrase. Then I want to delete my account and disassociate everything.
If you delete your account by regular means, if someone has a direct link, they can still view what was originally posted.
That is why I want to edit everything beforehand so if someone does happen to figure out a direct link they will not see what I originally posted.
I haven’t posted anything bad. It’s certainly overkill. I don’t ever intend to be Doxxed (Does anyone?), but if someone ever gained access to my Reddit history they could learn quite a lot about me.
If I can run a simple program or script to tidy things up then I might as well.
I imagine I will be doing this within the next couple of weeks.
…and why not ask them to delete it?
