MODERATORS
 

Reddit has not respected my right to delete my account and my posts and my comments (it is a zombie account with my history and my edits to posts also have been rolled back). As such, how do I make it of no value to Reddit?

True. I am trying to think of a more diplomatic way to say "take my content off your hosting platform" that could be done at scale.

Also with the reduction in quality moderators, this may do more harm to the only commercial value the site has: "inertia" for zombie scrolling ad revenue. Still, I don't understand exactly what will happen and may not do it.

Disengaging seems like a good idea.

Under EU GDPR or California CCPA, you can demand a copy of all data that Reddit has about you, which includes your posts & comments.

However, there's nothing you can do to destroy Reddit's copy of that material that they can't just undo.
