I just got the data packet I requested from my 10+ year old account. I'm going to try downloading/opening it tomorrow, and if it works (I really want to see what I was talking about 10 years ago) I'm out.
I encourage others to do the same! I've heard that you should nuke all your high value posts and comments by editing them to just "." before deleting, to ensure there's no contribution even if reddit restores the data, which is apparently something they've started to do.
