Check back occasionally to verify your comments remain deleted. While I’ve not had it happen to my main, others have reported their comments seem to return soon after doing a purge.
I thought my deleted comments were getting restored by reddit, but it just turns out that you can’t delete comments from private subreddits. So I initially deleted everything during the 2 day blackout, then a few days later when things started opening up again, I saw a ton of comments still on my account, so I just assumed reddit had been restoring them.
Hahaha I don’t even have to try to advertise, all I have to do is post and I’m instantly banned… I think I hurt a mods feeling by making AITA_Mods_are_incels as an alt user name.
Reddit is such a great source of information though-- especially when I’m looking for user feedback, instructions, or human opinions. It’s a shame that many posts are going to get deleted in the following weeks (especially in the tech sphere since most people quitting Reddit are going to be techies)
That’s why you should delete the comments/posts though. Because you make it less desirable to advertisers by making it less convenient to “just add Reddit” after a Google search.
Shredders going back at least five years have been editing comments and replacing them with placeholder text prior to deleting, on the assumption they might only be retaining the final version before deletion.
What I’ve been doing in cleaning up is, I first edit everything to be scrambled garbage, and then I delete it later. Most devs forget editing stuff is possible, so they won’t restore it in the heat of the moment until the logs are burried

I did advertising to Lemmy and got my first ban ever. Dw it’s fine, I didn’t even do it in a very toxic way.

From what I heard, there is another website that ‘scrapes’ Reddit for the information, so in theory that information should not be lost.
Which website? Unless you mean the Internet Archive?
