I might have to look more into my state’s right to be forgotten law. I used PDS for about 2 weeks until no more zombie posts were in my profile (most resurrected by the opening of closed subs). I was cleaning out some gaming book marks and clicked on a reddit thread I’d kept and, lo and behold, I found myself in the comments. Except I’d purged all of those. And searching for myself yields no results. This is…disappointing.
Does it work on permanently suspended accounts?
(The reason for was for “mod abuse” for reporting too much misinformation in a right-wing safe space subreddit, in case anybody was wondering.)
No. You need a working account.
So being banned means you forfeit control of your data? 🤔
Is it just me or is “permanently suspended” an oxymoron?
Yeah, it’s stupidly euphemistic. I’m not sure if that language is used just to distinguish it as a sitewide action by the admins (as opposed to a single-subreddit “ban” from that sub’s mods), or if there’s some more calculated/nefarious reason for it (maybe being “banned” from an account has legal implications that being “suspended” doesn’t?).
Surprisingly, it seems you can still edit and delete comments even with a suspended account, so it may still work.
What I’m not sure of is if you can still go to preferences and create an app for access to the API, which shreddit needs to do its automated work.
