Several subreddits are allowing porn and not-safe-for-work content to protest Reddit. In response, the platform has removed entire moderator teams from the affected subreddits.

I really want to cut ties with Reddit. I keep reading this stuff to keep me motivated to cut those ties.

      Thats why you edit them first to something in protest. (“I refuse to let u/spez get off on my posts”) and then delete them. Apparently reddit doesn’t keep a history of eddits (unless they changed that now) and they could only revert them back to your provocative comment which they wont.

        I’ve written a python script that is run regularly to 1) edit the comment 2) delete the comment.

        The unedited version is restored.

          Has this happened again? I heard of the first restore, but I’m wondering if it’s a continuous thing.

          Not that it matters much for me personally, once I got my GDPR dump, I’ll simply send in a GDPR deletion request.

      Haha, that is why I am glad I replaced all my contents with garbage before removing and waited for couple of days before removing them.
