This is pissing me off to no end. I went on reddit and signed in out of habbit as I have a couple times already and before my account was gone and it wouldnt let me sign in.
Now I did it again and realized that my account actually was undeleted and allowed me to login AND all the posts that I overwrited and deleted with Power Delete Suite where back. I am so pissed right now.
You can only delete you top 1000 posts, best 1000 post and newest 1000 posts, the rest remain
If the sub was dark when you ran the scripts they will reappear if the sub reopens
Then there is the sync issues other mention
What???
You deleted your account - and sign-in stopped working after that (since it was deleted, credentials are no longer valid).
Then suddenly you got your account undeleted and you can log in again to the formerly deleted reddit account??
Would breaking a ton of rules and getting the account banned remove all the content?
I don’t think so, your comments should still be there, only the account appears as [deleted].
I think it can if you use power delete suite to edit all your comments but dont delete them. I’m hoping it trips up the detection and I would recommend people do the same
Yes, overwriting with gibberish is better than deleting, especially since reddit has backups and I’ve seen a few people saying their stuff was restored.
Apps unfortunately have limits in how many posts/comments they can fetch, but overwriting some is better than nothing I guess.
Yeah, it seems if you run power delete suite a few times it covers them all, I had it edit about 4000 comments with “I deleted my reddit account and all my comments and posts but reddit has decided to undelete my account and comments so I have decided to let people know. Fuck this stupid site”
I tried to use power delete to download my stuff, but it always truncated data, I guess I was too much active on reddit lol, I also tried going one sub at a time but it was too much hassle, so I sent a GDPR request, much easier.
Deleting now won’t work I think, reddit is monitoring very closely what people are doing, they’re trying to limit the damage as much as possible.
I wish I lived in the EU lmao I envy your guys privacy laws
Doesn’t make much difference with Reddit - I have seen plenty of people say that they have tried submitting GDPR requests and never received anything.
