Attached: 2 images 👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent. #redditblackout #redditmigration #kbin #lemmy

I just logged in and checked my reddit account, and all my deleted posts have come back.

    Hmmm, not to be an apologist, but I wonder if this isn’t a data set integrity problem on reddits end. I reran PowerDeleteSuite, and it “acted funny” through the process.

    When I checked my profile again, some posts were edited, and others were not. As I was paging through and manually editing the misses, the list of pages got shorder and shorter.

    Perhaps a cache flush? I’m not saying put away the pitchforks here, just… This is weird.

      I will add that I periodically purge my account and this is the first time this has happened. Of course, this could be that it’s because a bunch of people are purging their accounts right now.
