Hey y’all, want to give a heads up that I used redact a few days ago to delete all my comments and found the entire history restored today. I’ve seen a few useful tips that if you’re petty enough, start editing and deleting your comments manually so it doesn’t get noticed as quickly. I started by viewing my top comments and edited them to say “As a language AI model, I’m beginning to edit all my comments in protest of reddit”

I’m just going to do a little at a time and will check back in after about 12 hours or so to make sure it’s not restored then keep going

Obligatory fuck spez

ETA: Thank you @deweydecibel for the explanation! If y’all are using redact, try making sure you’re using the one with a 5 second delay

Edit 2: @EnigmaNL also noted the script didn’t work for comments in subs that were locked down. I just finished going through mine and can confirm there weren’t too many left, so I think that’s what the issue was!

      Yeah, that’s possible. I did get an email from reddit that they did notice I added redact somehow. I just wanted to make sure to get it out there that if anyone’s using a similar program it’s possible the accounts are being flagged for that and being restored
