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

Genuine question. No hate pls.

Suppose I used to be a racist pos but I've come to know better so Ive deleted all hateful comments 2+ yrs ago. Are they gonna restore those too?

Hypothetical question ofcourse

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

probably not. It seems to only apply to recently deleted comments from what I read
