Reddit does require users to signup with an email address, so maybe you are simply trying to clean up your digital footprint and delete all of your social media. While other social networks such as Facebook and LinkedIn give users the chance to deactivate or pause their accounts, Reddit is permanent. There is no grace period where you can change your mind and come back to your account with Reddit. If your goal is to delete posts or comments you have made over the years, be aware that deactivating your account will not delete those posts.
A warning: Once you do deactivate your account, there is no way to go back and delete your old posts. They will live on the site presumably forever with the username deleted. If you want to delete your posts, you have to do so individually, going through each post and comment and selecting delete.
The same goes for direct messages that you have sent to other users. If your goal is to delete something from Reddit, you need to do so post-by-post and comment-by-comment. Follow these steps on how to delete your posts and comments before you deactivate your account for good. Before you deactivate, double-check your posts and comments to be sure there is nothing you left. Now that you are ready to delete, follow these steps on how to delete your Reddit account. So now that you have cleaned up your history with Reddit, you are ready to continue on to other social media accounts.
