    And i continue not regretting deleting everything i ever posted on Reddit for 17 years when i left them during the APIcalypse fiasco (yes, i imagine it’s all archived somewhere anyway, but at least it’s not there for them to use at this time)

      The reddit API can only go back 1000 comments (or pages of comments, 25 per page, I forgot which). I went back to about 2019 fairly well, but none of the scrubbing scripts really accomplished anything beyond that. How were you able to delete all your comments and posts?

      Even if you delete it, they just restore it. You do not own any of the content that you posted. You signed right away when you agreed to become a redditor.
