      Waiting on them to fulfil my GDPR data request.

      One I’ve got all my data (since there was some useful stuff there over the years) I’ll follow up with the “right to be forgotten” request as well.

        Keep us updated how this goes. Are they even governed by EU law if they are in the US?

          If they want to operate in the EU (for example, selling ad space to European companies to show to European users) then yes, they are.

          There are some American news sites that don’t serve to European users for that reason. Instead, we get a screan that explains that GDPR is too much for them to handle.

          It can be circumvented with a VPN, but I haven’t bothered so far

      They’ll probably just use it anyway, unfortunately.

      Now that we’ve given them the data, there’s not much we can do.

        If you’re in the EU have a look at Art 15&17 GDPR. I’m so gonna have fun with them…

        I tried nuking mine and they restored everything. At least I have the power not to give them anything more.

          I keep running Power Delete Suite and the comments keep getting restored. Pretty shifty of them.

            Is shreddit working to do a mass edit? That is what I am thinking of doing.

            Maybe try to replace everything with various lengths of ipsum dolor to try to fool whatever detection reddit is using. Over a period of a few days too.

              I’m really not sure which approach is best. kbin has a whole reddit migration community, you might find some answers there. I’ve only used PDS and I think you can leave parting words with it, too.
