Just got the reply from reddit to my gdpr request (iusearchlinux.fyi)

So in their reply they basically give me the standard "delete your posts and comments manually, then delete your account through this form" spiel, to which I could technically reply that it is their responsibility to delete the data and not mine.

However, if possible I would like to keep my reddit account for a little longer so I can still see posts that are helpful, at least until the fediverse kicks off totally. I assume that under GDPR I cant specify which data I would like deleted and which kept, its either all or nothing, so I'll avoid asking them to remove it all for the time being.

However from a GDPR standpoint, if I dont delete my account as well in additin to posts+comments and notice that 6 months down the line theyve brought back some of my content without my consent even after I delete it, could I take action against them?

How should I word my reply to them notifying them that even though it is their job I will be deleting my posts and comments but not the account, so that I am legally covered for the future?

Thanks in advance everyone!

I am not a lawyer. But, if you go down the route of following their instructions, I'd suggest you should follow their instructions completely, including deleting the account. Otherwise, they could claim further down the line that you failed to follow their instructions.

Also, you should probably tell them you've done it, preferably with a screenshot and timestamp, just so they know you're keeping records. ;)
