Fair to assume reddit is now limiting account deletion (www.reddit.com)

Just deleted my account without any problems. Deleted all posts/comments via Redact before of course...

Redact is a very handy tool, I cleaned up lots of crap with that

Is there an app that can automatically gather every post & comment, later store this offline? Then i delite it on their servers with my account.

PowerDeleteSuit does exactly what you need.

PSA first save your comment and post history then overwrite your posts first and wait a day, so the reddit history database only contains the garbage you entered. Unfortunate I missed it.

Ah I think I messed this up, too. But at least for me, I care more about Reddit not having it than it being lost forever.

Used that tool myself but it certainly didn't save all of my posts and comments. Looking through the csv it saved 12 lol. The rest were cast off into the void
