    I think you shouldn’t. I agree with stop using Reddit, but your comments are indexed in Google and they could be useful for other people. Their business model is based on ads, stop visiting the site will be enough.

      exactly. reddit wants to be a doomscrolling site, not an archive of information. if they said “we’re deleting all comments older than 6 months”, there’d be an uproar, but for some reason everyone seems hell bent on doing that

      honestly with youtube, reddit, and maybe twitter all losing information like this, we’re going full library of alexandria (slight hyperbole)

    Type reddit.com in your web browser’s search bar to go to the Reddit website. After opening Reddit’s main page, click your profile picture in the upper-right corner to bring up the drop-down menu. Click User Settings. Scroll to the bottom of the page to the delete account section and click Delete Account.

        undefined> I thought doing that didn’t actually delete your comments and posts. Am I wrong?

        As far as I know, the account is completely deleted after some time.
