YSK if you overwrote your comments and posts that Reddit is restoring them to previous states

Why YSK: Because you may delete your account and find your comments and other content is restored and beyond your control.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YET.

Keep overwriting your comments over and over so they cannot just roll them back a single edit.

I prefer Power Delete Suite as it does not need authorization and just uses the website through your own browser. I will continue to overwrite my comments on repeat until the API changes.

Is it legal ? Don't think so, at least in Europe with gpdr ?

I was thinking the exact same thing. Reddit getting fined by the EU would be hilarious

Its unbelievable how that could not be working. U made an identity, even you delete your account they will just put back ur pseudo, ur comments but hey no IP visible that's fine ? Its fucking usurpation if I do an analogy with IRL life. I should not be surprise, there is law (and if its free u are the product ), but its just common sense.. Common sense should be real, and then law adapt/update then with society.

Shark society. Hate that. Really.

I'm fucking glad to have been shadow banned directly first day and never did an account after.
