jcgReddit threatens you for using Power Delete Suite and other tools now
SilverShrimp0That's from AutoModerator, which is configured by subreddit mods. Messages from Reddit admins would not come from AutoModerator.
Huh, I just realized that but I'm not sure what the AutoMod rule would be in that case.
It’s definitely subs automod, I used the delete tool a few years ago and got multiple messages telling me to stop scrubbing my comments
Korne127That’s actually really interesting that subreddit mods set it up that way that it notices if someone changes so much so quickly and send such a message. I would have never thought of that, but I mean I guess it makes sense if they want to keep the subreddit content. Still really interesting. So these mods probably want to intimidate the person to get them to stop?
Well it worked on me lol… I stopped deleting my comments and just deleted my account
Does that keep your comments forever?
Yes, but your account becomes “unlinked” from that comment. The user is shown as [deleted]
I tend not to delete my comments anymore because many people use Reddit as a source for information and I find it frustrating when a potential solution for me has their comments deleted
Yeah, I know that with [deleted], but thanks for the answer.
That’s just interesting for me because I thought a company would need to delete all information about a user if they delete their account… I wonder if this is conform to the GPDR.
I have no idea about the gdpr aspect but I would assume it’s fine because that comment is in no way linked back to you. I could be wrong
Why is it not linked to you? I could write my name here, my address, any personified information. And I think even without that a company must delete everything it got from you if you want.
By that I meant linked back to your Reddit account
If you wrote any personal info on a public forum, it’s probably already been archived somewhere anyways especially with Reddit (I can find most threads on archive.org)
I get what you mean by deleting your comments too though, but all I know is that Reddit doesn’t do that. It just keeps the comment but makes it “anonymous”
I know that most stuff is archived and everything, but my point still is that I thought that companies like Reddit have to delete all content a user generated like that. As I said, that’s just what I’m pretty sure the law here was like, but I mean, probably I’m wrong. It’s still very interesting to me; I might look into this at some other time.
ⓓⓐⓡⓣⓗⓟⓔⓝⓘⓢ⑥⑨Lmao. This is great, reddit seems to be progressing their death spiral at an even greater rate now.
Good reminder that I need to do this today. Thanks!
On a laptop you can sort your comments by “top” and manually delete. Those are the highest visibility anyway.
TheOneWithTheHairOlder comments (1 year+), if you delete will simply re-appear. Then I tried editing old comments yesterday (using public domain filler text), but overnight my comments have been "restored". Newer stuff you can certainly do this to.
Someone said it’s the chaching or refreshing. Check again and let us know.
I believe only your most recent 1000 comments show up tied to your profile, so you cannot delete any but those. Deleting #1 doesn't bump #1001 into slot #1000
The lists are a bit different for controversial/top/hot, which is why the deletion tools all check all three.
Older comments will still exist and be search-indexable, editable, and deletable, but you'll have to find them... manually. I guess with 3P search engines? A nightmare.
Meaning Reddit is in violation of municipalities that have data deletion rules, but so far no one seems to care.
They really had to add the TM didn’t they?
ForestOrcaToo late. I wiped it all. " r/ProgrammerHumor requires a code block with an import statement before every comment, and r/shitposting has completely banned the letter B." That's hilarious, btw.
HobovisionWhere do those links take you? The mods might be doing that to demonstrate what could be coming in the future if reddit continues down this path.
What was it? I know it wasn't really from reddit but I wanted to see what it said.
Right? Am I missing something? Can we see the thing you're referring to, OP?
Kuujakuyea that should have been linked in the post itself. was quite confused what you were talking about.
Also - that's freaking hilarious and my hats off to the mod team of that sub. This has nothing to do with you using the delete scripts.
magnetosphereThey are really going all out to pour gasoline on this dumpster fire. Imagine if they put even half as much effort into improving the official app.
Used it last night and wiped 12 years of history from my account, rewrote several comments to say I was an RiF user. It actually got me banned from a couple subs for spam. Not that it matters, shame it had to come to this!
Have you downloaded the content before or anything like this? I mean I know that’s a deeply personal stuff, but I could never imagine just deleting so much I put time into before I get a backup and can at least personally still have it.
Okay so where is that nuke script before it won’t work anymore?!
Against the rules to use an adblocker? WTF.
