Just a reminder that things rarely actually get deleted in the software world. Instead a flag is flipped to is_deleted=true

    This sounds like something they could get in trouble for. How do we get them in trouble for it?

    Summoning your GDPR rights if you live in the EU (right to deletion and right to forgetting IIRC).

    In order for them to get in trouble over that your comments need to contain personal information or hints to identify you.

    I'm considering dropping some hints and minor personal information in comments, then requesting a GDPR wipe and if they're still there after thirty days sue then for GDPR violation.

    If they'd need to delete all comments of leavers Reddit would be such an empty place.
