Reddit is restoring deleted posts and comments
Reddit Migration@kbin.social – 89 points – A few days ago I deleted all of my posts and comments from reddit, but today they somehow reappeared.
I don't know if that's a bug or the admins themselves are restoring content, but I'm sure they'd have incentives to do so considering that they make money from your content, whether that is from generated clicks to the website or from selling those data to other companies to train AI models.

I've noticed that some posts and comments are appearing in my scrubbed profile once subreddits that were private open back up. And just the posts/comments in those subreddits. I'm keeping my account open until the 30th so I can periodically check back and make sure there isn't anything else that needs removing.
Are you using Power Delete Suite? You can overwrite comments with an edit before deleting them and it makes things a bit easier than doing it by hand.
Me too! I'll see you on the 30th! (Not literally - we'll just be deleting our accounts on the same day.)
We will be comrades in deletion.
Yes, I chose the option to edit the comments before deleting them this time.
