Reddit is a network of communities based on people’s interests. Registered members submit content to the site such as links, posts, images, and videos, which are voted up or down by other members. If you’re no longer interested in using Reddit, you can delete your account completely from the website. The process is straightforward and shouldn’t take too long. Reddit refers to account deletion as “deactivation”. Facebook also uses the same terminology but it is completely different. Once your account is deactivated on Reddit, it’s gone forever.
