Delete Reddit history
Hello Lemmy!
How do you recommend dealing with your old reddit account/ posts? Should I delete my old posts or just leave them there? Or maybe replace everything with the same text?
I heard that reddit might be restoring deleted posts. Would editing the post and then deleting it or just editing it be the better alternative to just deleting it?
I've seen the post that recommends doing all that BEFORE the API shutdown but now it's after so I figured maybe something had changed about the tactics?
How did you go about it?

Whats the benefit of encoding it? Others might not know what that even is.
If you put "Lemmy" in your comments, Reddit will flag that instantly for removal or restoration (even though this is illegal in EU). If you put gibberish or base64, Reddit is too dumb to know to put that in their automatic detection tools.
Got it. Wow they really seem to go all the way asshole mode on this. Maybe someone sues them. It's really not acceptable.
