A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.
Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.
Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.
They will simply restore the content.
Users have reported they are restoring comments they deleted using Power Delete Suite.
Edit your content, dont just delete
They could undo that as well. My current plan is to get all my data via GDPR request, host it on my server so that my useful posts and comments don’t get lost forever and then order them to delete all my stuff via a GDPR request.
Can they? It doesnt seem so simple because they have no way of knowing which posts are edited in good faith vs not.
They can try to undo comments which sre repeated 10x+ times or something I guess, but editing users comments seems like a really bad move
They shouldn’t be able to know which posts were deleted in good faith either. But here we are. I bet undeleting user content is a big fat GDPR violation. Just gotta find someone who cares enough to sue.
