better do it earlier, if you're late PowerDeleteSuite might not work
PDS will stop working in less than 3 hours from now, because Data API restrictions will start on June 19 2023 0000 hrs. I purged all my history outside of the subreddit I created, privatelife, and modcoord.
Mine only had about 2,500 karma, and only five years old, but I deleted it, and now I'm here on Lemmy!
I probably wouldn‘t remove the account itself
Otherwise you can‘t remove them again when they get restored by the admins
Yeah. I deleted my content and account. Next day content was back, but my account was still gone.
If you deleted your Reddit account, your content is disassociated and it stays behind, unless you used a tool like PowerDeleteSuite to automate replacing comment text and then deleting.

I did the same, but it looks like a lot of my comments and posts are coming back.
I used PowerDelete to replace my comments with Random Garbage, but it looks like only about 10% of comments actually got edited.
I have had to run it a few times, and Reddit appears to be restoring some comments as well in popular subs. I will keep it up until they ban me or July 1st hits. Then I will delete it all.
Last I heard it’s a bug with that version of the script
I've found that some subs are blocking mass edits and categorizing it as spamming.
Just found out it was my cake day today, was planning on deleting everything on the 30th but it would be funny if i did it on the 6th year of my account
10 years, 184k karma. I'm blanking out my account sometime around the first (whenever I get away with it), and un-subbing from everything. I'll keep the account to make sure it stays empty, and to communicate with the handful of friends I've made on there who are probably staying on Reddit, but that's it.
I have over 13k. My bot is keeping my comment list at 15 max and I'm not posting content. Been trying out kbin instead.
I'm hanging around until the end of June, but once Apollo is dark, I'm gone.
Fyi accounts like yours can fetch above $200 on some sites. Sure they'll be used to advertise and spam but is that really your problem now?
I have several accounts I'd like to see about selling. Where do I go exactly?
I've found playerup to be a site that has a board for selling.
well done. come over to lemmy and help pls. i have thousands of reddit accounts. all shall be deleted. The Ancient Ones shall rise again!!!! WOLOLOLOLOLLOLLLO!!!!!!
Same, 15+ years, although I don't yet have a plan to delete my account. There may arise a need to leverage it in some other protestful way.
Like selling the account to a spammer lol
Hypothetically, if there were a market for 12yr old reddit accounts, where would something like that be? So I can make sure to never go there, being the owner of a 12yr old reddit account myself.
As someone with a 10 year old account myself I would also like to know where and who to avoid.
