How to delete Reddit and not have stuff return. (kbin.social)

I’ve been seeing a lot of stuff on issues removing their Reddit and sudden returns of everything after deleting.

People need to understand a couple things:

  1. Basic reddit delete only covers the last 1000 posts and no more

  2. You need to use a script that makes access of Reddit’s api and pushift. There are few different ones on git but I’ll plug Reddit-purger because they have the sense to write out what everyone needs to do after that.

  3. Then you need to request that all your account information is removed from pushift. If you do not do that, a copy of everything is accessible.
