reddit is telling it's future investors with recent news and more info on their IPO, that they're currently selling and looking to sell their user's data to companies wanting to train their LLMs, including Google....
You didn’t delete anything. You told reddit to delete stuff, but whether they actually did that is a different question. It isn’t public on their website anymore, but the data might still be lying around on their servers
Yea they keep all the data. I deleted everything on my account when the whole shitshow happened and then GDPR requested the data associated with the account and it was all still there. And when I requested that they delete that too they outright refused.
That sounds like a gdpr violation. Companies can keep some things under the gdpr even when asked to delete them but i doubt your comments or whatever fall into that category.
Did you also deleted your comments and posts?
Yes, all content possible, before deleting my account.

i would love to see the answer from reddit because that sounds extremely illegal. keeping the data alone is already a violation.
If you’re in the EU, I hope you have documentation of that. Could prove useful.
Can you post a short version of what you sent them for inspiration?
