  it’s hard to tell if this was Reddit’s doing or just that of a fed-up user who deleted their own posts when leaving

  The latter, Reddit doesn’t remove your comments and posts when your account gets deleted.

    I used a tool to overwrite mine right before the API bullshit went into effect, but searching for my account, it appears they were all restored.

      They repeatedly restored deleted content during the “protests”. Which is why most of us encouraged people to leave their accounts open to go re-wipe when Reddit corporate stopped caring.

    The former is data they can index for Google searches to make Reddit more valuable as a resource. Reddit will never remove your data.

    yea it doesnt, unless you were shadowbanned. if you got permabanned or delted your account your history isnt gone. shadowban however gets all posts hidden by other users, except yourself.

  tools to delete or garble their entite post history

  I had a 6 year account when the API scandal hit. Paid a small fee to deny reddit whatever 2 cents my comments are worth.

  reddit comments only say removed when the mods or admins remove it. maybe the dude used a script to make all his comments say “I hate Reddit I am going to mail a pipebomb to carlos mencia in retaliation” and reddit nuked them.

  9 times out of 10 that is also Reddit’s doing.
