How To Completely Delete Reddit Posts And Comments

Although you can comment anonymously on any social networking site like Facebook or Reddit, sometimes you may receive threats from your own words, especially when it comes to making Reddit posts and comments.

While Facebook, Twitter, and many other networking sites require their customers’ personal information, Reddit asks for nothing. However, users’ IP addresses where their accounts were registered are still recorded and used for investigation if any emergency case happens. In detail, one’s identity can be exploited by his comments and associations with other users of Reddit. 

When you delete an embarrassing comment or even the whole account on any social networking platform, your personal information may be still found on the servers. Regarding data-keeping, Reddit appears more obvious than Google because it has a particular term of services instead of keeping quiet about users’ data and IP addresses. 

In detail, the policy enacted from 2013 of Reddit admitted that the IP addresses would not be completely eliminated from its servers even when users had decided to deactivate their account. The social networking site also added that they did keep refreshing their copies of the whole site on its systems. But right now, they are discussing the function that let Redditors clearly sweep away their Reddit posts when deactivating their accounts. By any means, it would be the solution for those who want to get rid of their embarrassing Reddit posts for good.

So now the only way that helps you limit viewers from your old posts is overwriting them. Instead of trying to delete old posts or comments in vain,  you can find then replace them with the new ones like “I love ducks!”. Have fun!
