I'm considering dropping some hints and minor personal information in comments, then requesting a GDPR wipe and if they're still there after thirty days sue then for GDPR violation. If they'd need to delete all comments of leavers Reddit would be such an empty place. permalink fedilink source parent [–] parrot-party@kbin.social 9 points 3 years ago Yep, they've restored mine twice now. It's important to not delete your Reddit account because they aren't restoring those. If you want to nuke your comments, you have to keep your account open so you can keep deleting them. If nothing else, make them pay server fees for this bullshit. permalink fedilink source parent [–] BigDickMystic@kbin.social 8 points 3 years ago (1 child) I overwrote each comment with "Fuck u/spez" before deleting them using PowerDeleteSuite. That way, if they were to restore my comments, it'd be autoremoved right away on most subs. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] JanoRis@kbin.social 6 points 3 years ago Afaik some people reported that it restored to their original comment instead permalink fedilink source parent [–] livus@kbin.social 3 points 3 years ago (2 children) Were you overwriting them and saving, or just deleting? permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] solarbird@kbin.social 9 points 3 years ago (1 child) People are seeing that get reverted too, according to several reports on Mastodon.
