I know it’s probably too late to add this feature but I think a lot of users like me that relied on RIF and others would like to delete their history so it doesn’t add to Reddit’s content (not that I added much, but in principle).
I know there are other ways and I’ll try to find one but for a lot of people it would be easier to just do it through the app before it’s gone.
Any idea how long the edits need to cook? Are we talking on the order of hours, days, weeks, or months?
Depends on your use case. If you just want the content removed from their database (assuming they aren’t tracking versions or edits themselves) then a few hour bake is probably sufficient. Realistically probably good to delete immediately after the edit, but better to be safe and wait.
The more difficult to quantify problem are reddit content sucker’s that have copied content from reddit, and there maybe no deleting from those unless they refresh data directly which is unlikely.
