They'll probably just use it anyway, unfortunately.

Now that we've given them the data, there's not much we can do.

If you're in the EU have a look at Art 15&17 GDPR. I'm so gonna have fun with them...

I tried nuking mine and they restored everything. At least I have the power not to give them anything more.

Is shreddit working to do a mass edit? That is what I am thinking of doing.

Maybe try to replace everything with various lengths of ipsum dolor to try to fool whatever detection reddit is using. Over a period of a few days too.
