Perhaps more frustratingly, I’ve found that even when I manually went through my Reddit history and edited my posts and then later did the same and deleted them all, they still exist in the original unedited form. I can find old posts via google search for my username, or posts I commented on, despite Reddit self telling me they have no history of my posts. I also, rarely, get a necro reply where someone replies to a very old post I wrote, which reminds me that these are still out there and discoverable, despite my attempts to edit and delete the information.
Reddit has no respect for its users. Your posts are not your posts. They belong to Reddit. As an EU citizen, it feels like what they are doing is probably illegal, but there is no recourse for the average user.
- ivanjermakov 3y ago> I can find old posts via google search for my username This has nothing to do with Reddit I believe. Data for such results is stored in Google's indexes, created by scraping Reddit back when your original comments were in place.
- appplication 3y agoOh, I mean I can actually go to Reddit and read them there, along with my username
- IlPeach 3y agoI even wonder if this can be reported to the whatever EU commission or group monitors and regulated data usage. I'm pretty ignorant on the matter.
- mbirth 3y agoReddit only associates the last 1000 comments with your profile. I’ve also spent the last few months regularly checking Google for another stray comment of mine and edit and delete it. However, if you get a Reddit data takeout, all your posts and comments should show up in there.
