[might not really be Reddit] Reddit threatens you for using Power Delete Suite and other tools now
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.
EDIT: So this is an AutoModerator message as pointed out by @SilverShrimp0 so might just be the r/absolutelynotme_irl mods trolling
That's from AutoModerator, which is configured by subreddit mods. Messages from Reddit admins would not come from AutoModerator.
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.
You can also do this if you request "desktop site" on a mobile browser.
Good reminder that I need to do this today. Thanks!
They really had to add the TM didn't they?
What was it? I know it wasn't really from reddit but I wanted to see what it said.
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.
Lmao. This is great, reddit seems to be progressing their death spiral at an even greater rate now.
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.
Links you to the Reddit user agreement and chat features for some reason.
