How is reddit post protest, did it really win over protesters? Did the ones who left make a dent? Or like all things before, did it ultimately do nothing?

Before you delete, do transfer your content to lemmy or kbin or any fediverse instance. It can only benefit the community the more content we have :)

I've seen a few users mentioning their comments have been "undeleted" after a few attempts to remove them, and I've also seen comments by [deleted] accounts that still have their comments visible. This was right after the 48hr shutdown period, so it might not be a thing anymore.

Ya they were rolling back mass deleted/edited comments. That was a huge red flag for me, along with censoring info about lemmy etc. I don't need that in my life.

How can we transfer our content? Is there a script or tool to do so? I assume we only transfer our own posts we made and not any comments

I wish I saw this sooner. I deleted my comments yesterday (12+ year reddit account).
