A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.

It's an interesting question and thought, but GDPR is primarily about personal data, not produced (and automatically copyrighted) content.

You produce copyrighted content/text, and as per Reddit terms send it to them with an irrevocable license to host, publish, and use that content.

As long as your account and posted content are not inherently person identifiable - linked to you as a person - the GDPR won't give you additional rights/power.

It's maybe a bit different for the account itself. I'm not sure what the law and law before court would say about that though.

Deleting a Reddit account does not remove your content, only your account, and the user association and labeling on the content. If right-to-be-forgotten would apply to the content, that'd have to be categorically-delectable as well.

/edit:

Through discussion elsewhere I learned:

Relevant is that you post your content linked to your online account. As such they are person-related data. You can always revoke permission / demand deletion of such data.

So the "revokation" wins over "unlinking content".

    I feel like the waters are a bit muddy, like if you had 1 acct, and posted a bunch, I'd imagine if you collected all your posts, there would be more than enough info to link the acct to your person. So where does that protection end? It just feels wrong if you couldn't go and delete that stuff tbh.
