Also if you’re feeling extra cantankerous you could try emailing them directly: redditdatarequests@reddit.com

Even though they say you have to use their form, they can’t actually force you to do that: https://ico.org.uk/for-organisations/uk-gdpr-guidance-and-resources/individual-rights/right-of-access/how-do-we-recognise-a-subject-access-request-sar/#requirements

You can also mail them a letter requesting your data and they have to honor it 🤣

Haha that’s worth a go - there is basically zero chance of them responding to that properly.

Wow can you imagine how much carnage a letter based subject access request onslaught could be? There’s basically no way around employing people to open letters and then do a bunch of data entry just so they can email you and say “hey fill in this form”.

Edit: Could they even email you? Would they have to respond by post?

So I already sent mine via their link but I have another 2 accounts. One is my first one since 2013 and one from 2016. I already mass edited all my comments but I found this. https://www.datarequests.org/blog/sample-letter-gdpr-access-request/

I would actually send a letter to them for the other accounts, need to find their address and see how much it costs since I would have to most likely send it in the US.

Edit Oh wow it's the same price and I can even request to have a confirmation of delivery, in total it would be under 5€. I will send it. Need to find out the address.

This is a great idea, please post if you find their address and stuff, that would make an amazing second wave of protest. Even if you’ve already made the request they’ve still got to open the letter, type your username to check - wouldn’t take more than a few hundred of those to cause problems.

I wonder if a letter sending device like this would work?

I don't see why it wouldn't work with that service but I would go and deliver it by hand to the post office, to make it more authentic.

I would insist that they print the information out and mail it to me. 😂

Can you also request they provide the information in print?

You need to put the link to the advice for EU users.
