I found a plug-in for Firefox that deletes all posts and comments from your reddit account. (Power Delete Suite). Now I am in talks with reddit, to have them delete my account and data.

They say that all content will be disassociated when I delete my account but I had them confirm that they won’t recreate it when I have deleted it. They still say that they will retain the IP used for creating the account. Not sure if this is legitimate data redemption after I have asked for my data to be deleted according to GDPR?

    you are right! I only checked on my profile, so can’t be sure. It’s just misleading though if they still keep them. Anyway, it seems that they have already removed my account or at least removed access to it to me so there is not much to be done now i guess. That went a lot faster than i had expected

      Yup, that’s kind of one of the biggest issues with them actually. It’s incredibly misleading!

      Yeah, I’ve heard this story before. Hopefully PDS got all of yours and hopefully this post will help others as well.
