- Every User Can Protest: Take Back Your Data
-
Reddit is removing moderators that protest by taking their communities private
If you're interested in fully saying goodbye to Reddit:
https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request - Request all of your data here. This will give you a copy of everything to have as a backup.
This will also allow you to use something like https://github.com/nixfu/reddit-shreddit to fully delete your reddit account (including comments, posts, etc).

Archive Your Reddit Data Before It's Too Late
I wrote this comment a couple years ago, but unless something significant has changed, this still stands.
Be careful. Shreddit does not get rid of all reddit comments, only the ones on your profile. Reddit stores a list of the last 1000 comments and posts you've made to your profile and that list is what Shreddit and 99% of reddit 'deletion' tools use. To truly remove all your comments and posts from reddit, look into reddit-shreddit [0]. Despite the similar name, it is completely different and leverages all your posts and comments from a reddit data request to delete all of your reddit posts and comments. It is infact the only method I have found, except for perhaps a GDPR request, that is truly a complete deletion.
However, this only covers the deletion from reddit itself. There have been periodic reddit archivals ever since it was created. Up to 2015 they were done yearly, ever since they have been done monthly. Since they have always been up for download, all of your reddit data will still be out there, however you can remove your data from the main source of these archives called pushshift. I haven't done it personally but I've seen it said on reddit, you can email the dev of pushshift or dm him on reddit and he will remove your information from his archive.

- It’s not just Apollo: other Reddit apps are shutting down, too | rif is fun for Reddit, ReddPlanet, and Sync will all shut down on June 30th, just like the Apollo app.

Don’t just delete your account. Use a tool to delete all your data before deleting your account, so Reddit doesn’t get money for your posts from 5 years ago showing up in google. Take your value with you when you leave.

Should I be concerned?
Also if you're worried about your comments and posts, there's a program called shreddit by nixfu, which individually deletes all the comments and posts.

Reddit Search, a search engine for Reddit indexable by user, subreddit, and date
I've done a lot of research on deleting reddit data recently and there are some important things the reddit community should know about reddit data and actually deleting it.
The most important thing is that 99% of reddit deletion tools out there (in fact all I have found except for one) do not *actually* delete your reddit data.
Most of these tools rely on the last 1000 posts and comments listed on your profile but do not delete any other comments or posts you have made and even then, most of these do not edit your comments and posts before deleting which means those 1000 posts and comments are still stored on reddit's servers.
To completely remove your reddit data, I have found only one way and that is with reddit-shreddit [0]. Despite its name being extraordinarily similar to another popular reddit deletion tool called Shreddit [1] which doesn't actually work, it is entirely different. reddit-shreddit works by taking the data from a reddit data request which includes all your posts and comments and editing and deleting each and every one. With this method, reddit-shreddit does not need to scrape the last 1000 posts and comments from your reddit profile to know what to delete. It can leverage the official GDPR-compliant data request from reddit ensuring all of your posts and comments are known and are deleted. If you wish to confirm they are actually deleted, you can submit another data request to verify all of your posts and comments are gone from reddit's servers. It may also be possible to remove your data from reddit with a GDPR request but I'm not sure. I haven't looked into that.
Although you can remove your data from reddit's servers, that does not mean it is gone. Ever since reddit was created, people have been scraping and archiving it. The most popular reddit archiving service is called pushshift and it has archives for every year of reddit up to 2015 when it started archiving every month. Pushshift runs the API that powers this website and other popular reddit tools like removeddit and the former ceddit. Luckily the developer has been known to delete your data if you request it. I've seen it mentioned on reddit that you can email him or pm him on reddit and he will remove your data. Unfortunately all the archives from previous years are still floating around the internet outside of pushshift but at least your data will disappear from the largest source.
