Shredding up my Reddit comments (editing them to say fuck spez, linking to Lemmy and Kbin, not deleting but I don’t care if they do end up deleted) and I got this.

I also got several hilarious AutoMod replies from different protesting subs. r/ProgrammerHumor requires a code block with an import statement before every comment, and r/shitposting has completely banned the letter B.

    That’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

          That’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?

    On a laptop you can sort your comments by “top” and manually delete. Those are the highest visibility anyway.

      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.

      Older 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.

    Too 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.

    Where 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.

    Glad I left reddit, I think it’s just going to turn into a place where the weirdos of the internet go if they keep this up

      Kinda already is. Everyone over here is so much more polite than on reddit, which implies reddit has lost a chunk of the community that doesn’t suck.

    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.
