Reddit claiming they weren’t recovering deleted posts (lemmy.ml)

I’m not sure if it’s a coincidence, but I raised a case with the ICO in the UK, and today they got back to me asking for all my communication with Reddit. Also today - after a month of silence - Reddit also emailed me with this

If you’re in the UK and had been affected by posts being restored, I’d recommend contacting the ICO. It takes less than 5 minutes

If you’ve got an old account and active account, you’ll need to use your export to iterate through all comments to delete. Any script or app not using the export will be severely limited by the way the API (and this website) return comment listings for users.

    Shreddit is rate-limiting and takes the GDPR export file as input. It's written in Rust with executable binaries available.

    Oh, I swear I read through those docs before and didn’t see that feature. Well that’s cool.

    I ended up writing my own shitty little script bc I couldn’t find an existing one. Glad it’s out there.
