I think that‘s great and hope my country will clear the way to build more nuclear power plants too

Sure, the radioactive waste is not great, but renewable energy sources are too unstable to provide the baseline of power consumption

Nuclear could provide that base power. Renewable sources in combination with pumped-storage hydroelectric facilities (or other ways to store power) would then be able to cover the fluctuations in demand

Eventually we hopefully figure out how to generate power using fusion, but for now I don‘t think we have other good options

I probably wouldn‘t remove the account itself
Otherwise you can‘t remove them again when they get restored by the admins
You ask the impossible

Hmm yeah that's true... So really the question is who decides what "sufficiently anonymized" actually means. Or what counts as personal data and what does not. Probably only a court can answer these questions since the GDPR is not very precise in that regard

I guess the best way to find out is to request deletion of all data including comments and posts, and if they don't comply then take them to court or file a complaint with your national Data Protection Authority

Since having left Reddit I've been spending a lot of time on Kbin reading through all kinds of posts. While I'm sure that there are bad eggs everywhere you go, I haven't seen much hateful posts/comments.

Still we need to stay vigilant and report content that does not belong here

You‘re right, you can use the GDPR to delete personal data. But again, I don‘t think posts and comment are considered personal data and that they would not have to be removed since they are essential to understanding the discussion as a whole

The GDPR was never intended to be able to destroy information, just to protect the privacy of users. So as long as there‘s no information that could identify a user in their posts/comments (which no one should make publicly available anyways) then Reddit is under no obligation to delete the content you generated. They only have to disassociate it from your account, which they do by displaying the username as „deleted“

Firefox and sometimes Safari. Since I also have a Windows machine I line to use the same browser on both pcs. And I don‘t like giving more Data to Google by using Chrome. They know enough about me already

I think you should definitely try, but I don't think it'll work. According to this stackexchange question they could argue that deleting your comments would break the cohesiveness of the discussion and make the available information incomplete.

Art.17, 3a states that the right to be forgotten is not applicable if processing of the data is required to exercise freedom of information. So I don't think posts or comments are affected by the GDPR as long as they don't contain any information that would identify a user

Does a user have the right to request their forum posts deleted?

Forum posts and similar stuff: chat messages from chatlogs, etc. According to https://eugdprcompliant.com/personal-data/ , a person's social media accounts and their posts there are considered per...
