I've seen some here openly despair that leaving reddit didn't do anything.

Spez, CEO of Reddit and former mod of the r/jailbait subreddit losing his shit very publically for days proves otherwise.

...And it's also a reminder that the reddit community we loved has already been destroyed by ownership, anyone returning would be returning to a shadow that disdains its own users.

I'm sure restoring deleted data will go over really well in Europe.

Already sent my GDPR request for my data and complete data deletion. In a few month, I will just have to look for my posts and comments, kindly provided by reddit, and denounce/sue them if they didn’t comply. That should sit well with investors ;-)

Where do you request GDPR data deletion to them? Did the data request already, still waiting, but haven't found anything about deletion yet

They were playing dumb when I asked, but it only needs to be in the initial email or comments on the form

Yes, but I only know of the form to request data, not of one to delete it, where did you send the request?
