I see other commenters who, before they left reddit, replaced all their comments with an explanation of why they’re leaving. What’s an easy way to do this?

I’m not exactly an expert on GDPR, but doesn’t reddit basically have to delete your content if you ask them?

Yeah, if a request was made under Article 17 of the GDPR they would have to remove it. They can only keep that data for specific and relevant reasons and I'd be hard-pressed to find a reason for them to keep my memes and shitposts.

That's usually reserved for things like previous employers to keep certain data for tax/finance reasons etc.
