A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Don't bother, they're restoring them.
I'm still going to do it. If nothing else to cost Reddit the time and expense of restoring from backup.
I’ll just keep running the script until they ban my 17 year old account.
Someone on Hackernews coined to use AI to generate random text and replace existing comments with that, which I find really interesting. They won’t be able to restore those comments
oh they definitely have the ability to do so.
Seems like there's some cages being rattled at Reddit HQ regardless of what spez claims.
I've already ran the script two more times since. Thankfully it was only posts from last week after I made the big purge, but I will make sure to come back to keep them deleted if they get restored again.
WHAT?! That is a new low, even for steve
