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.
