### About Community Tracking and helping #redditmigration to Kbin and the Fediverse. Say hello to the decentralized and open future. To see latest reeddit blackout info, see here: https://reddark.untone.uk/
Strongly suggest overriding all comments and posts (using something like PowerDeleteSuite) before submitting a GDPR request though. Replace it with “use kbin/lemmy” or similar.
Not sure whether it will work out but I am planning to do that before API is gone (assume ~28th of June or something).
I did this and my comments are back.
Any hope for Canadians? Not sure if using GDPR or CCPA would work in that case.
If you can prove that the data you're asking to have deleted is or contains PII, I'm sure they'll comply to the letter of the law. Outside of that, all content submitted to Reddit belongs to Reddit, Conde Nast, Advance Media, and all subsidiaries.
I believe it's less straightforward than that. Under GDPR, consent can be withdrawn, you can't give an irrevokable consent.

It doesnt' belong to Reddit. You give them a license (transferrable and non-revocable) to use the content. But in the EU that is superceded by the GDPR.
Consider making a data request first and after they respond, make a deletion request when you’d like your account removed.
If they do not respond to either the data request or deletion request (or do not fulfil these requests fully), you can make a complaint with your local data protection office or the one Reddit is based in (maybe Ireland?). Make sure you invoke GDPR using the correct language for your request/s.
Here’s a template letter of how to do so under GDPR. You must request your data or the deletion of you data using the correct legal framework (quoting the correct legislation) and these templates make this easy. Plus they cover more types of data than just your posts and comments.
