    First I made a GDPR request on the website to delete all of my posts and comments from their servers. I dont have the original text for it, but I specifically asked them not to delete my account, just remove posts and comments, so i can keep my subscriptions. This was their reply after a few days:

    Hello,

    We would be happy to help you delete your Reddit account if you have one. Before we proceed please note:

    1. Account deletion is irreversible.
    2. Posts and comments must be separately deleted before deleting your account. If not separately deleted, the content of the posts and comments will remain visible and disassociated from any account. If you want your posts and comments removed, follow the instructions on our help page.

    Once the above mentioned information is removed to your satisfaction, please submit your deletion request by using your account and this form so we know it’s really you making the request.

    More information about account deletion is available in our Privacy Policy.

    Kind regards,

    Reddit Legal Support

    Then i responded with:

    The problem is that some of my deleted posts and comments seem to be restored. I want them completely removed from your servers.

    After a few weeks i got the message in the screenshot.
