OK, I stopped posting on Reddit but left my account and comments in place because I considered them part of the public record. If Reddit is taking that record private, it’s time for me to start removing my content from the platform.

Does anyone know if historical Reddit content will remain in IA? If not, I’m going to have to back up years of content somewhere else.

    I'm assuming IA will continue to host their historical archives of Reddit, they'll just not have any new captures after this. Unless IA has said otherwise, it'd be very strange to wipe their archive of Reddit

    You can't remove it. It's there forever.

    Wrong.
    You can request deletion of archived pages.

    There are some browser extensions that will edit your comments and make them each a random a bunch of random words. I do not know how effective they are so I cannot vouch for them.

    I know that if you tried to just delete the comment, the information would still be there but the username is deleted. Which is frustrating, I didn't know that until I had already deleted every post and comment, went back to make sure the job was done. It wasn't. I just came to terms that at least I wasn't contributing to their hub of knowledge anymore.
