I might have to look more into my state’s right to be forgotten law. I used PDS for about 2 weeks until no more zombie posts were in my profile (most resurrected by the opening of closed subs). I was cleaning out some gaming book marks and clicked on a reddit thread I’d kept and, lo and behold, I found myself in the comments. Except I’d purged all of those. And searching for myself yields no results. This is…disappointing.
Ugh, that’s extremely disappointing. I’ve got thousands of comments coming up on Google all the way back to 2009 that don’t show up on Reddit searches or my profile anymore. I wonder if there’s an automated way I can edit and then delete these.
There’s a premium service called Shreddit that will take your GDPR request files and delete them for you.
YSK though that your top results in Google are also likely to be the top traffic to Reddit. So deleting top down will remove those traffic sources to Reddit.
My top 5 results a month ago were also the posts that were driving questions via PM years later.
I didn’t pay to delete mine. I didn’t have as much as you guys to worry about. Maybe 400 or so. Every couple years I created new accounts. I lucked out because of it.

Remember Google still knows of your deleted content if you just did your account wipe. Those will take a few weeks to not show up.
