News and Discussions about Reddit

Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules


Rule 1- No brigading.

**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.



Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.

**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.



:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

Reddit improved their anti-ban evasion system, cuz it's the sixth or more failed attempt at evading a permanent ban. Never more, I am staying here.

FUCK YOU, SPEZ!

Just make sure to check again in a day or two. At the height of the purge, reddit was shown to be restoring deleted or over-written comments to what they were before.

I know that they were restoring deleted accounts, but I don't think there's any way for them to restore over written comments to previous versions, so overwritten comments are probably more important than actually deleting the account, although you can delete it after you overwrite everything.

Nothing is ever deleted from Reddit and edits are stored. Deleting it doesn't actually delete it, it just marks it as deleted.

This is information coming directly from Reddit devs/admins over the years.

Can you link to evidence of comments being timestamped, restored or archived by reddit? I've read about both deletes being reversible and edits being stored, but I found no incontrovertible evidence for comment iterations being stored or recovered, although there seems to be a lot of anecdotal evidence for deleted accounts being easily restored by admins, which would make sense.

[–] Krudler 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

No because I can't be bothered. Its common knowledge and again, this comes from multiple confirmations even from spez himself.

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

I've heard that repeated, but I haven't seen any evidence of it with regards to overwritten comments. Deletions, yes, but so far there doesn't seem to be any cause for concern for restoring overwritten comments.
