To anyone still on Reddit and/or moderates a sub, I would recommend deleting all of your content. Reddit is going to continue making money off of whatever you post, even if it’s helpful. If you’re worried about preservation, submit your content through an archiver. Don’t let them continue to make money off of you when you are not valued. Down with corporate overlords.
Make sure the press hears about this. We’re still ranting about spez editing comments years after the fact; not only disobeying a user’s wishes, but violating the law?. That’s a whole other kettle of fish.
just checked and yup, mine have also been restored - on an account I nuked about 6 months ago. I’ve deleted the account so I can’t even remove them again.
Thank you reddit for forcing me off your platform and not having to deal with your shitty app anymore.

There are reports of them already restoring deleted content, too. They have zero respect for their users’ autonomy.
Edit: Someone started a thread about it here
Lol, it’s like Spez is trying to act like Elon Musk at this point…
Just checked my account and all of my posts and comments are back. :[
Not sure if it’s what happened, but remember that content in private subreddits isn’t on your profile and thus cannot be deleted.
When it opens back up, your content will now appear on your profile. (Run it again as-needed)
No way. Can anyone else confirm of their old user data is back? This is a huge low by Reddit
I think this is also, like, illegal? At least I the EU

I nuked all three of my accounts, each with thousands of comments. Fuck reddit.
Double check, they restored my deleted comments and posts.
