So I’ve gone through and deleted all my comments and posts. For now I’ve only edited the content to . or deleted . I’ll see if that sticks, and then go through with actual deletion later.

However, I have a fair bit of comments in some subreddits that are restricted, like interestingasfuck and jellyfin. Do anyone know if moderators are open to requests for deleting comments? Or have they all left?

Edit: Just to be precise, I want to shred my data by overwriting it before I delete it.

    As long as the subs are just restricted you are able to edit and delete your posts (at least manually, I didn’t try that with a programm). But when a sub is private you don’t have access to your posts.

      The issue seems to be comments - I’m not allowed to edit them without moderator approval, and moderators have turned off all moderator requests 😅

        That’s strange. I’ve been able to edit and delete my comments in restricted subs too, even with a banned account.

    Not that I know of, no. Probably they’ll disappear if Reddit deletes the sub, or reappear if they force it back open, so you may just have to sit tight for a few weeks. Is there anything particularly sensitive you want to delete, or are you just trying to get everything?
