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.

    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?).

    There used to be a GreaseMonkey script that will automate this.

    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.
