If you’ve ever posted on Reddit and later wished you could easily clean up your history, you’re not alone. Now, with Redact.dev’s Disappearing Mode for Reddit, you can automatically delete posts, comments, and upvotes after a certain period of time — without having to manually dig through your account.

While apps like Signal, Telegram, and Snapchat made disappearing messages popular, Redact brings that same convenience to Reddit, helping you maintain a cleaner, more private online presence.

If you’re looking for a simple way to auto-delete Reddit posts, comments. Disappearing Mode makes it effortless.

Disappearing Mode is a powerful automatic deletion feature that lets you decide how long your Reddit activity stays online before being permanently removed. You can fully control which types of content get deleted, how long you want to keep them, and when they vanish.

  • Auto-delete posts you’ve made in any subreddit
  • Remove your comments across all threads
  • Maintain a private and up-to-date Reddit profile without constant manual cleanup

Why You Should Auto-Delete Old Reddit Activity

Setting up auto-deletion for Reddit comes with major advantages:

  • Enhanced Privacy: Old posts and comments that no longer reflect your views won’t be left behind for others to find.
  • Reduced Risk: Decrease the chance of posts being resurfaced out of context or causing problems in the future.
  • Cleaner Profile: Keep your Reddit presence minimal, fresh, and focused on what you care about now.
  • Better Digital Hygiene: Avoid hoarding thousands of old comments or abandoned discussions.

Deleting posts and comments isn’t about hiding — it’s about keeping your digital footprint under your control.
