per @Thekingoflorda@lemmy.world You can also use shreddit.com if you don’t want to download the program itself.
there are also tools you can use to back this up before you do it. https://github.com/samirelanduk/reddit-save

Love this video, Shred it! Broooo
In all seriousness though I probably won't be deleting my stuff either. Less than a month ago someone replied to a message of mine that was years old and they said they found it when googling. I don't want to ruin someone's day when they try to find something to answer their questions.
backup, re-post here.
I've seen a few people suggest this, but wouldn't it be pretty useless without the context of the rest of the original post?
Like I could back up all of my comments and repost them here, but no one will know what they were in reply to unless I also backup and import the rest of the thread.
(I'm not against that, but I also don't know if there'd be legal issues?)
you should check if the stuff you care about is on the webarchive, if its not see if you can get it there.
That's a good point. I guess a solution to my issue could be to post a dump of saved/exported comments/posts but also link to archive.org for them.
I've been using a self-hosted YacY instance lately too and have it set up to automatically index/cache rss feeds from my reddit upvotes/comments, so that kind of works too.
Wdym?
there are tools that let you backup your post history, then its a matter of finding/waiting for someone to make (either already exists or will soon) a tool to import what you want here.
IMO just reclaiming your content, not deleting.
I don't see importing really working all that well. Like the other commentor said, without context (the original post and other comments) your own messages are pretty much useless. And while not impossible, I don't really see how you would import an entire thread with other people's comments, because they're different users. Letting just anyone upload an entire thread including other users comments would open up an instance to A LOT of spam.
