Which is why I sat for hours this morning, manually deleting all the posts in my subreddit. He is welcome to now hand it to someone else...
There have been reports that reddit is restoring deleted content. Some are saying it may be a GDPR violation if you're requesting reddit to delete your data.
This needs to be spread more. The right way to delete your content is to request a GDPR / CCPA type deletion. They will be liable for big lawsuits if they don't comply.
that sounds quite clearly like a GDPR violation
@danie10 people are reporting that deleted posts are reappearing on Reddit. The terms of use says they can do this, which is pretty messed up.
@cura
I used Redact.dev. And I'm currently running it a second time since it looks like posts in private subreddits that have since re-opened get reverted (presumably the edit doesn't go through correctly?).
I used this to change all my posts to "fuck /u/spez". Let's see how long it takes before i'm banned.
There used to be a GreaseMonkey script that will automate this.
Redact - https://redact.dev/ allows you to automatically delete your posts etc.
I've seen reports here from this morning where people are saying that they're even restoring comments deleted with Redact.
From a technical standpoint, adding a database table that is a comment revision history is trivial and barely requires any alternation of existing code. Even reddit could do it.
I've always suspected that they did it a long time ago in response to redact.
Be careful, People have seen their post deletions being undone. Some posts that were restored were deleted as much as a decade ago. It appears to be manually chosen subreddits getting restored, but it's something to keep an eye out for.
Unfortunately, they can undo that in seconds.
Nice on mentioning fediverse in the sub description too. I hope more reddit mods do that!
