Warning, someone on reddit mentioned this is a known bug of the application used

looks like my comments deleted before blackout started are still deleted, so did they restore only more recent deletions?

They are going full send on pissing everyone off at this point

Holy damn. I deleted all my comments and my account ~a week ago. I don't even know how to check if they restored something. 😠

GDPR laws take the wheel

Perhaps delete and replace the comment with text that explicitly claims copyright on the deleted message and denies Reddit a license to use the deleted content? It would be good to get a legal eagle willing to look at the Reddit user agreement and content licensing and see if there is a legally literate way of denying them use deleted content once it has been submitted.

You should bear in mind, PowerDeleteSuite doesn't get everything. It can only see what's in your reddit profile under New, Top, Hot & Controversial - there will be numerous posts that are too old with only 1 or a few karma that aren't displayed in these lists. In particular, if you go through your top posts of all time, you might find some replies to these posts that you made that the script did not see.

The GDPR archive gives a full list of all the comments. What we need is a FOSS script that can use these csv files to get everything. Apparently Shreddit can take the csv files, however you have to pay $15 to use this feature.

Currently I only have 2 comments still visible which for some reason the Power Delete tool couldn't remove. I will check back in a week though if someone can remind me, and see if any of mine have magically reappeared.

That link is just too request the bulk of your data. It's not a form to request deletion of all your data. Technically you could request that, but if they deny out ignore that, then there's not a whole lot you can do unless you're ready to take it to court.

My money is on this being a big due to the huge influx of comment updates and deletions. I can’t imagine they would do something this blatant on purpose.

Also worth noting: according to the ToS Reddit can actually do whatever they want with existing content, apparently we agreed to this when signing up.

Been thinking about that. I don't think that overrules laws like the GDPR though - law triumphs over ToS. And under GDPR, consent can be withdrawn, you can't give an irrevokable consent.

@chri5 @Rairii jerk move. Can confirm a smattering of my edited and removed comments have been restored as well as removed submissions.
