Here‘s a link where someone copied the post to kbin. There‘s also a link to reddit

Imagine contacting a company as a journalist for comment and getting a poop emoji as a response

Twitter is almost as big of a shitshow as Reddit is

I probably wouldn‘t remove the account itself
Otherwise you can‘t remove them again when they get restored by the admins

You ask the impossible

Hmm yeah that’s true… So really the question is who decides what “sufficiently anonymized” actually means. Or what counts as personal data and what does not. Probably only a court can answer these questions since the GDPR is not very precise in that regard

I guess the best way to find out is to request deletion of all data including comments and posts, and if they don’t comply then take them to court or file a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority

Since having left Reddit I’ve been spending a lot of time on Kbin reading through all kinds of posts. While I’m sure that there are bad eggs everywhere you go, I haven’t seen much hateful posts/comments. But then again, maybe I’ve just missed those

Still we need to stay vigilant and report content that does not belong here

The website also states that „properly anonymized data“ is not affected by the GDPR.

The only things from that list, that should be posted on a public internet forum, are race, gender and political views anyways. And it isn‘t really possible to identify a single user based on these data points

By submitting content to Reddit you also granted them an irrevocable license to use it (according to their ToS) and Art.17, 3a of the GDPR protects data that is not identifiable from deletion

But I guess it‘s worth a try. Maybe their DPO is a nice guy

You‘re right, you can use the GDPR to delete personal data. But again, I don‘t think posts and comment are considered personal data and that they would not have to be removed since they are essential to understanding the discussion as a whole

The GDPR was never intended to be able to destroy information, just to protect the privacy of users. So as long as there‘s no information that could identify a user in their posts/comments (which no one should make publicly available anyways) then Reddit is under no obligation to delete the content you generated. They only have to disassociate it from your account, which they do by displaying the username as „deleted“

The creative ways found by the communities to tell spez to fuck off is one of the few good things that has come from this disaster

There‘s clearly only one way forward for r/pics!

Firefox and sometimes Safari. Since I also have a Windows machine I like to use the same browser on both devices. And I don‘t like giving more data to Google by using Chrome. They know enough about me already

@sensibilidades is probably right that they could just restore the previous state from a backup

In addition to that is a name not necessarily information that would identify you. There are many people out there that share the same name. It would require additional personal information, like address, phone number or something like that

Even if that would help deleting a users Reddit history I wouldn‘t exactly recommend posting putting that information on the internet

I think you should definitely try, but I don’t think it’ll work. According to this stackexchange question they could argue that deleting your comments would break the cohesiveness of the discussion and make the available information incomplete.

Art.17, 3a states that the right to be forgotten is not applicable if processing of the data is required to exercise freedom of information. So I don’t think posts or comments are affected by the GDPR as long as they don’t contain any information that would identify a user

Ah yeah. On mobile it works for me too, but on desktop it looks like this for me. But if no one else is having this problem then I’m probably doing something wrong
