It is important to note that although this may be a result of Reddit’s UI not displaying the content users posted to now-private subreddits, it remains a problem. Additionally, I agree with the author’s comments in the video description, as it appears strategically unrealistic for Reddit to ask that users manually delete the content themselves.
This is particularly true when considering that many automated methods to accomplish this task will be hindered by Reddit’s upcoming API pricing changes. Furthermore, Reddit has demonstrated a recurring pattern of rolling back databases using historical backups, thereby disregarding user deletion requests that were submitted prior to the database rollback.
See similar discussion of this video on Hacker News:
You must log in or register to comment.
You know what really spices up an IPO? A bunch of international lawsuits.
Hmmmm class action lawsuit by angry ex-redditors.
I won’t hold my breath, but it would be sweet.
To be honest, even news of them thumbind their nose at GDPR would be enough to scare investors away
that’s hefty fines, stacked concurrently
They need quintuple damages for willfulness
Don’t know if it’ll stick but my latest time-waster has been to go back to my old comments and remove words so that it still sounds like proper English but the post is totally unhelpful.
This is actually a very neat idea - considering that reddit is said to be the training ground for language AI programs/bots/whatevertheyarecalled, the more gibberish the site has, the worse the bot will turn out. Less incentive for potential investors to waste their money on an “useless” project.
I just nuked everything. I’ll still use Reddit just far less frequently. I took my most popular comments and if they were applicable I made them posts on Lemmy or Tildes.
I wonder if translating them into Esperanto would work.
If Reddit won’t delete your comments, edit them all and replace them with, “edit: // I’ve moved to Lemmy //”
:D
I use lorem ipsum with shreddit which is the default.

Can you make them all say “fuck /u/spez”?
Edit: You can.
