Glad I deleted everything on there. fucking hell.
This keeps coming up and I keep replying, not to break anyone down but to point out the reality of the situation that a lot of people don't seem to get.
Reddit administrators, developers, and even the leadership has gone on the record saying that they retain all copies of comments, they cannot be deleted (delete action only marks it as "deleted"). Furthermore they have said they will undelete/unedit any comments or account at their whim and some discretion.
Have you ever search-engined something and came to a Reddit post, and you noticed that the original OP is [deleted]? That is what I described above playing out in front of you.
You cannot retract your past participation in Reddit, what is done is done. The only meaningful action you can take is to not participate there.
Yeah, I assume in general that nothing on the internet ever goes away. At least makes it somewhat more annoying though.
