It looks like they’re undeleting posts which means you won’t be able to go back and delete them again if your account is gone. I checked today and about 30% of my deleted posts were back.

Reddit will profit off your past content if it stays up in its current form. As an alternative to deleting, I’ve seen people suggesting editing your old text posts to be gibberish so that it will screw with the AI models that scour Reddit.

    Ah okay, that makes sense. To be fair, the Reddit admins have been somewhat abusing their power lately so it’s understandable to attribute this to acting in bad faith.

    That’s still a good reason not to delete your account then, so that posts can be deleted as they become available again.
