You can backup and delete or modify all your old reddit content. 1,500,000+ karma and 11 years of my content is being deleted right now. Reddit’s gold is user content: If you’ve left reddit, don’t leave them your content.
While it’s true that yes, deleting content isn’t going to delete it from their servers and they’ll still be able to utilize it, be aware that when they get caught doing so the EU and GDPR will fine them billions. Let’s set them up for a good one.
While I do understand, it’s sad to see a lot of past content vanish without a trace. It’s damaging to culture, and even though many posts might have been not that important, there will still be some information that is inevitably lost. What would be great, in my opinion, is being able to back posts up to another place, so that they get preserved outside of Reddit.
