Hi, I recently moved to Lemmy and don’t want Reddit to make any more money with my data.

I live in the EU, so I should have the right to demand deletion of all of my data according to the GDPR, right?

Did anyone write them an email or letter to request data deletion? And how did you write it?

Thank you, I will definitely try that.

Do you think they would not delete my comments if I wanted them to delete everything according to the GDPR? Because I could make a few test comments after deleting everything else(would be nice proof).

It might be naive of me to think that I can make a difference by reporting it, but I would love to see them get fined like Facebook/Meta recently did.

They claim to not have a way to delete your comments.

By all means, please report them to the proper authorities, but only after making a formal request, and after they respond.
