Inb4 they don't actually delete your account... I've seen people dealing with their account still existing long after they requested it to be deleted.

I ran a script to over write and delete my comments, but left the account open as a placeholder.
Have still received comment replies to my posts twice. When I went to see the comment it was deleted.
-
When I did this I got a zillion automated PM's from some bot whining about, "Please stop running a script on our sub!"
Yeah? Get fucked. I was tempted to run it again just to be an ass. But I have things to do.

A lot of your old history is not accessible from within your comment history in your profile. Reddit is just broken spaghetti code in a lot of ways.
-
if you request all of your reddit account data they provide you with every comment/ edited or deleted, from memory anyway
dont post things on the internet that you dont want other people to see, as a reminder

A soft delete is about the only sane way to handle this kind of information, to be honest. People already used the delete feature for harassment, but imagine if there was no way to see the deletions on Reddits side, a report of the harassment would mean nothing.
Yes, the right to be forgotten exists, but it’s much more in depth to create an account, harass someone in comments so it reaches their notifications, then request a deletion of the account. Vs just deleting the comment and doing it again and again.
