Google executives acknowledged this month they need to do a better job surfacing user-generated content after the recent Reddit blackouts.

As someone who had millions of karma and 70+ front page posts on reddit, I deleted all my posts and comments so those Google results would lead to nothing. In fact reddit banned me for that and setting my subreddits to private. Now I’ll be reposting all that content to Lemmy. No money for you Reddit.

Have you checked to make sure Reddit didn’t restore your comments? They’ve been doing that to a bunch of people.

So far they have not.

You still can request a data export to see what they still have.

As a plus point if your GPDR request was logged and they can’t fulfill it in 90 days they will be fined.

They won’t be fined if you don’t report it
