      The EU has the GDPR and California has the CCPA that both give people in these places the legal right to have their data removed from sites upon request. If they end up putting your stuff back up or reverting edited comments/posts back to their original form, you can submit a notice through these organizations to bring the law into it and either make it illegal for Reddit to restore your stuff or at the very least force them to pour money into legal disputes to argue to keep it against government enforcement.

      Other states/areas may have similar internet privacy laws in place so check to see if this exists where you are!

      A few times a day I go back to Reddit and see that subs I had followed are back to public and my comments in those subs are now visible in my history. So I delete the comments and leave (un-join) that sub. What that is showing me that there is a trickle.of subs flipping from private to public all throughout the day. (It does not mean that they will comply without protest going forward. They also may have new subs, ljke r/privacy. ) So if you want to make sure that your posts and comments are gone you will have to check more than once.
