Reddit after we deleted our content

34 comments

I edited many of my comments up to old ones to "I moved to Lemmy. Save yourselves". They're also boosted by the previous upvotes that the old content got

Use the Power Delete Suite to completely override your comments :)

My 1000+ comments are still deleted and they all say fuck spez. So hopefully it stays that way

- Your technically right

  To be honest, I was on Reddit since 2015 and never understood exactly the difference between removed comment and deleted comment.

I scrubbed all my 11+ years worth of posts and comments across four accounts. Some of those posts included technical fixes that I worked out myself and my posts were THE ONLY search result for those specific problems.

The only account I bothered to purge all the comments prior to deleting was the 10 year old account that I used to post all of my OC articles. The rest I just deleted. I'm not sure it achieves anything but if anyone used reddit anything like I did, each of us just reduced the number of active accounts on the site by 5 or so.

I know I'm kidding myself but I'd like to imagine total number of active accounts is one of the metrics being used for valuation during their IPO and they're currently scrambling to explain why it just keeps dropping.

would be hilarious if old comment trees of redditors arguing with each other suddenly became:

spez is a cunt

fuck spez

spez is a cunt

fuck spez

  This annoys me already so keep it up.

This is sadly real since they undeleted all of mine 7 times. I think they’re praying you close the account, so they can toss the comments back up but have no say if it’s back up.

- Wasnt there a guy threatening to sue them if they kept being his comments back?

  Yup, but they’re hoping to sell all of it for AI training down the line and kill old Reddit where it’s easier to dodge ads.
  
  So they will likely say there’s no evidence who posted the original comment, and make you go through a maze of steps like requiring a driver’s license scan sent to them through email. Instagram tried this.

I manually changed my last 50 or so comments to tell people to go to lemmy

- I did the same but with every one of my 4,000 comments from the last 11 years.

I can't tell you how frustrating it is even before all the drama how much it is to see the ~~top~~ comments deleted/removed or clicking a post and a mod removed it.

I have hopped on just to see what /r/all looks like a few times, and the quality of content has taken a major nose dive, along with the average votes being significantly smaller for the top posts of the day.

Is funny to me.

I said in another discussion, I'm in no way a great Reddit personality, but I deleted all my stuff and it came back. I hope there's some kind of personal data reckoning coming for Reddit, but even if there isn't, fuck spez.

until after like 24h some of the comments magically reappear

Is there any way to automatically edit all my Reddit comments to "fuck /u/spez" or something like that?

- Somebody pointed me to this fork of power delete suite: https://github.com/deestan/PowerDeleteSuite
  
  It takes a while longer to run because it waits in between each edit, but best I could tell it got each and every of my 2000+ comments. The original version got most of the edits eaten by rate limiting and only got 25% of my comments at best.

- I did it with https://redact.dev/

- If you find something like that, I'd be thrilled.
