Home to all things "Mildly Infuriating" Not infuriating, not enraging. Mildly Infuriating. All posts should reflect that.

You didn't wipe your comments, you only created a new version. And if you deleted them, it's only a soft delete. Reddit still holds your data. I proved this by doing a gdpr request and received stuff I'd wiped and deleted four years before.
GDPR also allows you to do a data deletion request.
Ah yes, the "Right to be forgotten"
You are correct, of course. However, they are well within their rights to not delete your data. Look up "Legitimate interest" - it's a huge GDPR loophole and widely abused. (Certainly in charity fundraising in which I used to work)
The LI can be for their own business purposes, including profiling, machine learning and of course, advertising.
It can also, and usually is, need to keep data in case they receive a legal order to provide it. In the event of Reddit being used for terrorism purposes (which I'm sure it has, along with every other messaging platform), they will be required to produce that information. Which they can't if it's gone.
We wave the GDPR around like it solves all our problems. And whilst it does add a huge amount of public protection and it's impressive it made it into law given those objecting to it, it does not give you the right to your own data above all else.
