The #reddit posts I deleted on June 16th via #PowerDeleteSuite have been magically restored.

I'm gobsmacked and insulted. It's *my* content. The audacity to restore it so Reddit can squeeze sweet ad revenue out of it is insane... I'm never visiting that place again.

I've now edited most of my comments and self-posts to use this open letter temlate I posted on #kbin. Feel free to edit your posts via PowerDeleteSuite or another tool to say something similar: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/123377/Leaving-Reddit-for-good-now-like-me-Use-this-comment

Reddit shockingly restored all the comments I deleted via PowerDelete Suite a while ago. If Reddit will do their damnedest to keep my content against my will, I'll do what I can to still change it and protest....

#PSA: because of the impending #API changes, TODAY is the LAST DAY to use tools like #PowerDeleteSuite to clear your #reddit post history.

If you have any reddit accounts you've been meaning to clear out, this is last call for using an automated tool to do so.

Hehe bye bye Reddit, powerdeletesuite works a charm. I was hoping they'd change their stance, but alas profit over accessibility and users. I loved the boost app and feel bad for all the developers who put work into adding features Reddit couldn't be bothered with.

Nobody cares, but I think it's important to put one's money where their mouth is! :)

#reddit #powerdeletesuite

Currently running PowerDelete Suite on my reddit account, erasing over a decade's worth of contributions. Sad to see it go, but grateful for kbin!

Went to go delete my #reddit account, and of course several of my posts were restored. Running #PowerDeleteSuite again before I whack the bugger.

Update: my six year old #Reddit account is now dead.
Press F to pay respe-- to say #EffYouReddit XD

Never got my download from #reddit, so I ran #PowerDeleteSuite to shred and delete everything on my account.

Will be deleting my account Jun 30.

My contribution to the #RedditMigration is after getting comfy on #lemmy, I am running #PowerDeleteSuite on my 11y, 110k karma account. Yay #Fediverse
Well, #PowerDeleteSuite followed by an account deletion did the trick. Tofu_va_Vohu is no more.

In protest of recent changes to #Reddit's API terms, some of the site's users ran apps like #PowerDeleteSuite to overwrite or delete their entire Reddit comment and post history.

This morning, multiple users across the Fediverse are claiming that Reddit has quietly restored their overwritten/deleted posts.

Some claim this unrequested & undesired restoration of history seems limited to accounts who used PDS. Others speculate this could be a server-rollback issue.

Attached: 2 images ๐Ÿ‘ฟ PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent. #redditblackout #redditmigration #kbin #lemmy

p.s. the add-in allows you to export what you're deleting into a CSV file. The columns are Title, Body (your actual contribution to society by the text you posted on reddit), Permalink (URL to the reddit thread), Score (This is IMPORTANT!!, no, really - includes negative scores), Timestamp UTC, Actions.

Loading this into Excel and doing a Sum on your Score is a good way to push yourself into a major depression.
