I see other commenters who, before they left reddit, replaced all their comments with an explanation of why they’re leaving. What’s an easy way to do this?

I’m not exactly an expert on GDPR, but doesn’t reddit basically have to delete your content if you ask them?

[–] Clinodactyl@lemmy.ml 1 points 1 year ago

Yeah, if a request was made under Article 17 of the GDPR they would have to remove it. They can only keep that data for specific and relevant reasons and I'd be hard-pressed to find a reason for them to keep my memes and shitposts.

That's usually reserved for things like previous employers to keep certain data for tax/finance reasons etc.

Is there an android app to do this?

[–] clowndotfire@lemmy.world 5 points 1 year ago

I don't think an app exists.
You can try with your Browser (Firefox if others don't work) and Power Delete Suite - installation/ running is the image at the bottom.

Yes, I just used one called redact. It deleted all my posts and comments.
