They must oblige within a certain time frame — even if your account has been suspended and I believe even if you’ve deleted your account. Curiously, this might be one effective way to protest. Golly I wonder what would happen if many people requested such reports simultaneously. It seems these must be processed manually by admins.

As a bonus, it’s nice because all your comments and messages are searchable.

    Yeah I created a lot of content for reddit, so there’s the part of me that as a creator wants to pull my content from a platform that I don’t want to profit off of me any longer.

    But there’s also the part of me that has seen my content get reposted endlessly, which to me is always fun to see. And I want the originals to be available to people still.

    It’s a tough call. I stopped posting anything after the app shutdown, and have basically all but stopped using the site, so I hold no attachment to my account at this point, I’d just hate for all of my content to become harder to find.

    Maybe I should just set up my own instance or even just a website with all my gifs and such.
