Lol. Original title said UI. I meant AI. You all are cracking me up though.
I don’t think they’re trying to train their UI.
can’t tell if that’s flippant or just uninformed. Reddit data was a significant component of the development of most big name LLMs.
“Update your SQL mainframe with this, you slimy bit-flipper!”
Knew a lady with a trained chinchilla. Bet she could train your UI.
This isn’t likely to stop Reddit themselves from monetizing the data for AI training purposes. Deletion is typically “logical” in these types of systems, meaning that it’s “marked as deleted” but not actually deleted.
What it does affect is the ability for others to see the posts, which might be companies accessing the API for AI training purposes. At this point, we don’t know whether this is a meaningful path that Reddit wants to go down. If it is, they could allow the API to return deleted posts and comments (theoretically).
Well done!
did mine too. i took this text from someone else’s edited comment cause i liked it so much, added a line or two
Beautiful
@Kill_joy I’m just waiting for my data export to come through (it’s been over a week since I requested it), then I’ll submit a GDPR deletion request – any other way of deleting only hides the data from the web, but it remains in their databases.

Same, anyone reading here can do a GDPR data request using this link, but you should probably wait for the export to come through to delete your account:
This is supposedly expensive to compile, and they’ll get hefty fines if they don’t follow through.
We are tracking timelines on this here: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread
So far very few reports of folks actually getting anything.
So the question is, will this back-up my posts to a file as well?
You have the option to save everything to a text file. Power Delete Suite works very well.
Be careful. When I tried this it didn’t quite work - I got a handful of comments, but a bunch were missing and the csv was obviously truncated. Others have reported similar results as well. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/71867/Poll-Power-Delete-Suite-users-are-you-saving-your-content
I had another way of grabbing everything, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the
