it would be a mistake to assume that Reddit didn’t store your original comments.

They were fairly specific about not doing that (I’d imagine largely because of GDPR).

I deleted 10 years of “content” before I left and checked their policies. They apparently actually do properly delete from their servers.

  GDPR is no joke. Storing a handful of comments is not worth the penalty if they get caught.

But the GDPR only covers European users tho.

  That’s true but it’s far easier to globally implement rather than trying to segment. Very difficult to accurately prove a user isn’t EU resident across an entire userbase.

    That’s probably why they don’t let you access Reddit with a VPN, so they can have some idea of location.
