The latter, Reddit doesn't remove your comments and posts when your account gets deleted.
I used a tool to overwrite mine right before the API bullshit went into effect, but searching for my account, it appears they were all restored.
I overwrote all my comments, then deleted them, and they've been restored as well. Anyone know a working tool to permanently delete stuff?
Give your account to a European user and have them order Reddit to delete everything via gdpr.
There is none.
I'm not going to post links and supporting evidence, I can't be bothered.
But creators and admins have gone on the record saying you never ever can remove or delete a comment, and every edit is saved. And furthermore, they just restore comments at their whim.
That's what I've noticed.
I initially used power delete suite which got maybe half of mine.
Then I went and started manually editing them with random words.
Then started deleting.
I'm very sure that some sub's have restored deleted comments. Amusingly sometimes with the random words instead of the original.
The only reason I never deleted my account is so that I can go back and mess up or delete stuff as it comes back. Fairly easy to find your comments with a search of your username.
Surprised they haven't just locked the ability to edit or delete older stuff. It's not like it ever really gets deleted, just removed from public view.
Yes and no.
Yes, they have every single version of every single comment you ever made and can fetch whichever one they want whenever they want.
But reddit is massive. That is WHY it depends so much on unpaid mods (like other social media sites of a much smaller size...).
So unless you are a "top influencer", the most they'll do is revert your deleted comments maybe one extra version. So if you use one of the tools that edit it prior to deletion, you are in good-ish shape.
Which is what we saw during the "protests". Plenty of people (self included) saw their comments come back. But the people who ran one of the editing deleters (with a non-default message) saw their edited messages return. Because that was the most recent on the stack.
They repeatedly restored deleted content during the "protests". Which is why most of us encouraged people to leave their accounts open to go re-wipe when Reddit corporate stopped caring.
I've gone back and checked a couple times, this is the first time I've seen them restored.
But now the API-based tool i used no longer functions
Rate limited so you might have to run it a few times over the course of a week but https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
The former is data they can index for Google searches to make Reddit more valuable as a resource. Reddit will never remove your data.
yea it doesnt, unless you were shadowbanned. if you got permabanned or delted your account your history isnt gone. shadowban however gets all posts hidden by other users, except yourself.
