I'm curious for those of you who have done this: Have you archived anything?
It's hard to part with a 14 year old account and so much history. I know there are sites that archive reddit and of course archive.org. But nothing is a sure thing unless you are the custodian. It's such a huge snapshot of my life.... Proud of some of it. Not proud of other parts. But that's the beauty of it.
Also I've heard Reddit is reversing anyone who does this anyways.... so... yea. Might not go well in the EU, but they probably can get away with it in the US.
Nope, what's gone is gone and I made sure to overwrite my comments multiple times, just to make it a bit more tedious to restore the original one.
I ran Redact somewhere early in June, but when I ran it yesterday it picked up a ton of comments from 2018, so reddit seems to fuck us over even more.
