Shredding up my Reddit comments (editing them to say fuck spez, linking to Lemmy and Kbin, not deleting but I don’t care if they do end up deleted) and I got this.

I also got several hilarious AutoMod replies from different protesting subs. r/ProgrammerHumor requires a code block with an import statement before every comment, and r/shitposting has completely banned the letter B.

EDIT: So this is an AutoModerator message as pointed out by @SilverShrimp0 so might just be the r/absolutelynotme_irl mods trolling

    That’s from AutoModerator, which is configured by subreddit mods. Messages from Reddit admins would not come from AutoModerator.

      Huh, I just realized that but I’m not sure what the AutoMod rule would be in that case.

        It’s definitely subs automod, I used the delete tool a few years ago and got multiple messages telling me to stop scrubbing my comments

          That’s actually really interesting that subreddit mods set it up that way that it notices if someone changes so much so quickly and send such a message. I would have never thought of that, but I mean I guess it makes sense if they want to keep the subreddit content. Still really interesting. So these mods probably want to intimidate the person to get them to stop?

            Well it worked on me lol… I stopped deleting my comments and just deleted my account

              Does that keep your comments forever?

                Yes, but your account becomes “unlinked” from that comment. The user is shown as [deleted]

                I tend not to delete my comments anymore because many people use Reddit as a source for information and I find it frustrating when a potential solution for me has their comments deleted

                  Yeah, I know that with [deleted], but thanks for the answer.

                  That’s just interesting for me because I thought a company would need to delete all information about a user if they delete their account… I wonder if this is conform to the GPDR.

                    I have no idea about the gdpr aspect but I would assume it’s fine because that comment is in no way linked back to you. I could be wrong

      Indeed, it even says “this subreddit” at the bottom. I wonder which sub it links to. And I wonder if OP was fooled by this, or intentionally helping in spreading misinformation.
