I got this message too. I’m torn between just deleting the accounts and be done with it and leaving them to sit with no activity and no ad impressions.

Or set your location to a European country?

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 10 points 1 year ago

A better idea. I already tried to change my email to a European provider, though, and Reddit refused.

If you delete all your posts and comments, Reddit can't profit off the content you made

[–] CaptObvious@literature.cafe 1 points 1 year ago

True. And I’ve done that. I’m just wondering if it’s time to clean up an unused social media account.

Wouldn’t you have to avoid viewing anything too?

I’m not planning on viewing Reddit in the foreseeable future. But I rather like the idea of taking up space in their database while giving them nothing in return.
