My DPO basically told me that since reddit told me (I contacted reddit first as per the GDPR) that I can delete my comments myself I should go ahead and do that, and that my case was closed. Even after telling her that there were still 2 comments visible only when my profile is viewed "signed out", and I provided a screenshot of a regular browser window where I am signed in and an incognito window where I am not, her reply was that once I delete my account they will not be linked to me in any way so they do not violate the GDPR...

    It might not violate GDPR, but there's still copyright to it. Reddit haven't provided consideration in exchange for the rights they claim to your comment - access to the website is offered free of charge, regardless of whether you post.

    Granted, that's a different avenue entirely, you'd have to take them to court for selling your work to train AI.
