I just ran Power Delete Suite on all of my comments and self posts, stating they have been removed in protest.

On July 1st, I am deleting every comment and post, then closing my account. Reddit was fun while it lasted.

The fediverse is still raw, but I see massive protentional here, and I am ready for this journey with all of you.

Thanks for pointing out that there may be more to this, I dug into it a bit more. A few users reported that their comments/posts were being restored:

@[email protected] https://lemmy.ml/post/1290893

@[email protected] https://lemmy.ml/comment/690447

It looks like it could be related to issues with Powerdelete, or else issues with being able to delete comments while a sub is/was set to private. https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/34112/Updated-Reddit-is-quietly-restoring-deleted-AND-overwritten-posts-and

However, there is also a user that reported that their manually deleted posts came back @[email protected] https://mstdn.social/@sukarn/110553511800817413 Which could be related to Reddit performing maintenance on the servers.

Either way it's probably worth it to hold onto your account for a while longer to verify that there weren't any issues with your posts/comments being deleted.
