What the fuck.
I used Power Delete Suite to edit and delete my comment history. My profile shows nothing, but I just did a Google search for my reddit /u/ and my comments are still showing in the threads.
Fuck you spez and fuck you reddit.
Your edits won't show up on Google for a long time (not sure how often it refreshes) but clicking through should show you your now edited/deleted comment
No, that's not what I'm saying; I'm well aware of Google caching. I'm saying the actual reddit comment threads themselves are still showing my comments while my user profile is empty.
Oh that's sketchy AF. Can you share a screenshot? Not that I disbelieve you, but I'd love to see proof of reddit's fuckery with not actually removing content
I haven't yet overwritten/deleted my comments because I haven't been back since the initial blackout so I can't verify it myself
you can't use power delete anymore. sort your own posts by top (all time), and manually change the useful ones.
I ran it June before the appocalypse
