  • Son-of-a-bitch. I just searched with Google… and almost ALL my old comments are back. The user attribution is [deleted], but almost all the content of 13 or 14 years of comments has been restored. In a few cases, a top-level comment has not been restored, but everywhere in sub-comment conversations, I see my old content… content I know I explicitly deleted.

    So, even though I explicitly deleted my contributions, they ignored and restored it. What an asshole move by the Reddit admins. And of course, now that my account has been deleted there’s no way to follow up and re-remove all my contributions.

    I wonder. Considering that the vast majority of my comments on Reddit were done while I lived in Europe if I can use GPRD and insist they remove it all.





  • Yes… 13+ years on Reddit on my main account (different name than my Lemmy account), and it’s gone. I’ve deleted all my posts and thousands of replies. I was active in several communities, including the Linux and open-source communities.

    I used a script to edit my post history and replace my posts with random text, and then after a waiting period, delete the posts entirely. It took a couple of days to sift through it all. Then once I was down to zero posts… deleted my account.
