An FYI about comments/posts reappearing after using shreddit or other services

There are posts/comments over on r/redditalternatives about users using shreddit or other services to delete all of their posts/comments, only to find out they've been readded a day or so later.

I have not gone through this process yet (though I intend to - I just want to be sure all the posts I've "saved" will be saved also, not just the post/comment history - I bookmarked a lot of interesting stuff!), So I can't speak to personal experience. Not sure if it's due to the users deleting the content but not their account, or if the admins really are going in and just adding all the stuff back in so to not lose the content and searchability.

Just a note to check on your content that you wiped to make sure it's gone. There are multiple anecdotes of people erasing their data 3x and it keeps coming back.

Edit: examples in this post
