I might have to look more into my state’s right to be forgotten law. I used PDS for about 2 weeks until no more zombie posts were in my profile (most resurrected by the opening of closed subs). I was cleaning out some gaming book marks and clicked on a reddit thread I’d kept and, lo and behold, I found myself in the comments. Except I’d purged all of those. And searching for myself yields no results. This is…disappointing.
you must edit first. automated deletes are rolled back.
Which is a dick move, but I can see that as a workaround. However, my account shows no posts, and a search of my u/name shows no posts, so they must be tagged with a fake/shadow username that is disconnected from my account. Maybe I can find myself by searching from an alt account (self-shadow-banned?)
Edit: nope, I don’t show up in searches from my alt, either.
I’ve definitely had it happen where during a period of time when reddit’s servers went wack, I had a comment post in a thread that did not appear in my comment history.
I only noticed this because I used to post in one of those lounge threads, which I would check and refresh frequently.
Automated edits were throttled to an insanely low level too. It took days for me to get all my comments out. At least I think I got them all… can’t really be sure.
I did it a couple days before July 30. Took like 5 or 6 hours to edit all the comments of a 14 year old account
