News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Not to be that guy but admins can absolutely revert even your manual deletion.
Re-upload with pics of a vehicle instead?
Re-upload with pics of large dicks.
That assumes reddit doesn't version their data, which they probably do. In that case they could revert that too without even having to go through the trouble of restoring the data from backup, which they probably keep as well.
TL;DR you're not gonna manage to make reddit lose your data. They can get it back if they care enough and if it's hosted within their domain.
I mostly posted thru imgur albums automatically generated thru my 3rd party app, rather than reddit hosted images.
You could go to Imgur and delete your albums (or make them private or something, I don't know how Imgur works).
I read on here recently that imgur deleted standalone posts not attached to users, which I believe would include the links generated by my 3rd party client. They were not attached to my imgur account. I think imgur's self-destruction took care of it for me.
It's fascinating how all these websites have decided to kill themselves all at the same time.
That's why I didn't delete my account yet, I want to be able to edit my comments when they revert them. I'm just going keep editing and editing, who knows what scripts I'll run this week?
So get this, I've been slowly injecting random characters into my posts. Just every day that I think about it I go through my history and ctrl+shift+9 to get a random string from Bitwarden and plug it in for a page of posts. I figured it might not look like a mass delete/replace as much as a scripted one is, and doesn't take me much time.
However, I just noticed today that I can now only view 6 years of my old post history, while I've been posting for 12 years. this wasn't like this earlier this week. I can even find 11 year old posts if I know what specifically to look for. I've even tried with the newer web interface and my history cuts off at 6 years.
They're definitely onto us, even people doing it slowly.
Watch out, you might run into api cost issues with these scripts :)
What scripts do you run that mass edits and deletes?
I used power delete suite before, I'll probably check out some others too just to keep overwriting everything.

Depends your location, IIRC Europeans can request permanent deletion of their content and they are required by law to comply.
Not all content just personally identifiable information.
