Don't delete your Reddit account
Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 64 points – Reddit is actively restoring deleted comments and posts. Deleting your account won't make any useful difference. Instead:
- Keep the account around but use some tool to delete all comments and posts everyday. I use Redact app on Android but there're many others. Reddit would not be restoring comments and posts if they are not useful to them. By keeping your profile and keep deleting everything, you are denying Reddit any chance from making use of your data.
- Monitor when subreddit opens poll for re-opening and vote the "best" option.

seems like this is only effect some people since I deleted my posts and comments like a week ago and nothing has been restored
Just checked and mine got restored too.
Did you use the power suite and use it multiple times?
Seems to be a bug and there’s some fork of it that somebody made to fix the issue
Yeah Power Delete Suite doesn't respect the timeout limits for edit requests so it misses things sometimes.
I didn't use the edit function though, since I've already read about it causing issues with the API limits. If there's a fork that fixes it I'd like to have a link though.
For me, the stuff I deleted is still gone, but it was only the most recent 1000 posts or something like that. On my profile, it looks like there's nothing, but if I do a search, it's bringing up older stuff.
