We are a magazine dedicated to the protest and boycott of Reddit. We are protesting due to Reddit's unfair API policy changes, the disgusting lying behavior of Spez the CEO, and the forced departure of the Apollo app and other 3rd party apps. Remember, the content on Reddit is generated by US THE USERS. It is OUR DATA they are profiting off of and claiming it as theirs.

ORIGINAL POST

TEXT FROM POST: "Attached: 2 images 👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent. #redditblackout #redditmigration #kbin #lemmy"

In case you live in Europe: keep prove of the deletion and if your comments are recovered keep proof of that as well. Under European law (GDPR) you can file a complaint. If a large amount of people claim violations of GDPR Reddit's gonna have some issues.

The best solution to fight such behavior

@minnieo @tchambers i knew it! I deleted all my posts only to find some of them back a few days later.

I'm not deleting my account until all my content is gone.

That's why I'm waiting a few weeks before I log back into reddit and start deleting all my old content, slowly and methodically.

Wondering if I should delete, or simply start replacing the text wtih "F*ck SPEZ" and see how long that lasts lol

I’ve started replacing comments with “this comment was deleted on (date), after being deleted and restored once already. If you can see this, Reddit restored it without my consent for the second time.”

I’ve had 6 respawn, but haven’t checked since my app died.

That's a great idea
