How to Clear Your Reddit Upvote and Downvote History
Reddit upvotes and downvotes are private by default — other users cannot see your vote history. However, understanding what Reddit tracks about your votes (and what's visible to you) helps you make informed privacy decisions.
Step-by-Step Instructions
Check Your Vote Privacy Settings
Go to Reddit Settings > Privacy and toggle "Make my votes public" — ensure this is OFF if you don't want your votes visible to others.
View Your Upvoted Posts
On your profile, click "Upvoted" to see posts you've upvoted (only visible to you). This list can be cleared by downvoting the same posts (removing your upvote).
Focus on What Matters Most
Your upvote history is private unless you've opted to make votes public. The higher privacy priority is your public posts and comments — use Karmdit to bulk delete those.
Tips & Important Notes
Upvotes are private unless you explicitly opt to make them public in Reddit settings.
Even if you've made votes public, the list shows the posts you voted on, not necessarily your specific vote direction.
The highest privacy risk comes from your public posts and comments — prioritize cleaning those with Karmdit.
