I used the Power Delete Suite fork by pkolyvas and it worked and my comments were redacted/deleted correctly for over a week.

Today I checked my account and sorted my comments by “Top” and to my surprise I see that many of my top rated comments have been forcibly brought back by Reddit. The curious thing is that it’s only top comments on technical subs like r/MachineLearning that were restored, they must have realized that being in the Google search results for technical questions is critical for them.

Is it because they detect “bot activity” and they simply revert it? Has anyone had success with doing that manually or semi-manually?

Thanks!

    Depending on where you live, submit a deletion request under your privacy law. If they don’t do it for you, most laws allow you to sue them individually or as part of a class action, or you could report it to your privacy regulator and sic that headache on them.
