Given what sort of people are likely to be running "trolling bot farms", doing this is analogous to letting the local Neo-Nazi gang hold rallies at your house because your landlord is an asshole. It does more harm to the general public than it does to the landlord or Reddit.

MODERATORS
True. I am trying to think of a more diplomatic way to say "take my content off your hosting platform" that could be done at scale.
Also with the reduction in quality moderators, this may do more harm to the only commercial value the site has: "inertia" for zombie scrolling ad revenue. Still, I don't understand exactly what will happen and may not do it.
Disengaging seems like a good idea.
Under EU GDPR or California CCPA, you can demand a copy of all data that Reddit has about you, which includes your posts & comments.
However, there's nothing you can do to destroy Reddit's copy of that material that they can't just undo.
does reddit have a twitter account? spam there about their crimes. make others aware that reddit is a scummy company
My posts seem to be rolling back as the communities come back from being private or restricted. For example, I edited/deleted everything on Monday. This morning lots of comments.I had nuked were back, pre-edit. I nuked it all again a few hours ago, and noted the subs where the.comments were posted. Now there are a handful of revived posts, all from just one sub that wasn't in the crop I nuked earlier today. Curious, no?
So, I just keep running PowerDeleteSuite on them every few hours. Nothing that got deleted twice base come back yet, so maybe it's a data fidelity problem on the reddit end? Perhaps posts in locked subs were also lo led, and not actually deleted?
Just keep at it, and don't delete your account til you're sure everything is gone. I think were in this for the long haul.
I nuked my account - including deleting every comment - prior to the blackout, and it remains completely nuked. Not a single comment survived. But instead of using a tool, I hand-deleted every single comment. It did take a while, but every moment was deeply satisfying.
This is disgusting, but expected tbh. I'm following this so I can see what people say. I was gonna start cleaning my account up when the news broke about the rollback.
