Getting to all of one’s content is the rub. You can’t delete more than a years’ worth of comments. Reddit locked all the older posts and threads down once the IPO dropped, so they could privatize it and sell it for AI training. Last October, I got permabanned after 14 years there, and could only delete my comments that went back as October 2024.
Weirdly enough, someone (or a bot doing some training?) randomly responded to an ancient (over 7 years ago) comment I made and it popped up in my Reddit mailbox… Shouldn’t be able to get replies as content that old is usually archived and static. But not this. Hmmm. I of course deleted it and worked my way though as many of the threads under that post to find any other comments I may have made, but I could not get to any other content that was as old.
I still maintain a few logins to swing through and check for any more of my content coming up… Going to get as much of it gone as I can. I’m patient.
Stop using Reddit and delete all of your content. You vote every day with your attention, data, & dollar
