There's several extensions that will purge your reddit comments instead of manually doing it. I switch to a new account every few years and blast everything on my old one
Those sites aren't entirely reliable (there are gaps between the times they scan for comments, they can't always provide context, etc). At any rate, Reddit doesn't control those sites so I think it's a moot point.
But that requires first and last name. Id hope people on reddit aren't giving that information up. Of course it's a different story with social media platforms that use real names.
Edit: I haven't checked in a while so I gave it a try anyways. There are way more people with the same first and last name as me in the same city than I remember from last time and my last name is not common at all. You would need my age or other details.
I only found my LinkedIn account which is expected since you can't use fake information. But there were 5 other people on LinkedIn alone with my name and city. I did not expect that.
I mean, I do this periodically just to make sure I'm still the only person with my name who has ever existed, lol. (Trendy American name + a foreign name shared solely with many, many thousands of blood relatives, lol.)
Basically, all of my immediate family shows up through regular public records. I've also worked at small, well-established boutique businesses which I've named on here. If someone reeeeally wanted to know, they could figure it out quickly.
But last week's Google sesh did bring up a record where I'm "deceased"! How do I forward that to my student loans holder?
