Reddit's response to my GDPR request to remove all of my posts and comments, since some of them got restored after i deleted them
the link they sent is https://support.reddithelp.com/hc/en-us/sections/360008917951-Removing-Your-Reddit-Data

I’ve seen other posts where users have located their most recent deleted posts and comments despite their profile displaying them as deleted. If the admins said that their website was broken and slowly processing deletions then I’d believe them, it’s Reddit after all, but they instead blamed the script. This smells of beef-fed bullshit.
They're telling you to check the error log to see if there were errors. For example: Many subs went private. If you posted in sub A and ran the script while it was private, it wouldn't be able to overwrite that content. If the sub stopped being private that content would come back and it wouldn't be written over.
Yet they also say they respect your right to delete your data. These 2 statements seem to be in conflict.
I'm sure they wouldn't just lie to people who were deleting their accounts because reddit lied to them. That's crazy talk.
