You can delete your history. While I’ve heard that your posts may reappear due to backups, why not make it hard on Reddit as you close the door behind you? They’re your posts, your user history. The more people that delete their history, the more frustrating it is for Reddit overall.
I’m referring more to the suggestions of subreddit vandalism, brigading, mass vote manipulation, turning off automod. That’s pointless, anything moderator hooliganism can be undone immediately.
Personal history is different. I nuked all my shit on the 12th. Edited and wiped with Redact before deleting each account, all I can do as far as I’m aware. I took measures to obfuscate my activity on reddit anyway, multiple accounts, never keep one longer than a year, if I’m giving a personal anecdote, the unimportant details will be wildly different and wrong every time I tell it, that sort of thing.
I make an effort to protect my anonymity on the internet in general. My personal post history on various websites definitely falls under my data which I will control as much as I possibly can.
