This is the expected behavior on Reddit when you delete your account. None of your posts go anywhere. You have to manually, before you delete your account, edit them to remove their contents. Requests for deletion under GDPR may function differently.

Sadly, at the moment, they do not. https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/94785/Can-t-view-delete-comments-after-7-months#entry-comment-402774

Several folks here have reported this noncompliance to their gov't and i expect an epic showdown where reddit gets its behind handed to it, but that's likely some years away.

The important thing is to get people to be aware of this. A lot of folks seem to delete their accounts and then, too late, be caught by surprise that nothing they wrote is deleted - and now cannot be removed.

Some folks do the right thing, but then get surprised when it turns out that redact.dev or shreddt.com or Power Delete Suite failed to delete all of their comments for various reasons.

We shouldn't let reddit get away with this.
