Nothing. Too many users deleted their posts and reddit decided to find a way to undo that. Your comments are worth too much to the AI bot farmers to ignore.

That doesn’t really make sense. They don’t need to visually restore the comments to sell them to AI bot farmers.

They aren’t going to be able to sell them to AI farms. That ship has sailed. All the valuable content was scraped before there was a cost imposed. Spez is high on his own farts if he thinks anyone is gonna pay their stupid API fees for that.

I think there is a script out there that replaces all your comments with random gibberish sentences. Just cron it to run every week until all the rollbacks are gone.

it’s just cached content from the many servers, they got overwhelmed by the too many delete requests, run again the powerdeletesuite. Also, if while you used powerdeletesuite a subreddit was private, it wouldn’t be able to detect and delete that post or comment

Also, if you were a frequent poster, your profile doesn’t actually have everything you’ve ever posted. So if you used RES to mass delete, it would have missed stuff.
Sanctus@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Login, run a tool to mass edit them, and then run a tool to delete them. Reddit used to only save the previous state and if it is still like that it will render them useless.

Probably cached in that case. There’s almost certainly multiple caches between Reddit and a web browser, and the only time the system feels the need to build a page and not use the cache will be when you’re logged in.
The issue should ultimately correct itself as these pages do become stale and get deleted.

Edit your content and make it gibberish
PatFussy@lemm.ee 1 year ago
Just start going through your old top comments and replace it with a bunch of racist or very obsene shit. Its already a top comment and its old so likely nobody will see

Doesn’t prevent them from rolling the comments back to the pre vandalized state and only really serves to attack innocent unrelated third parties with whatever psychic damage you decided to put out into the world.

If they still have the database the way they originally designed it, they only keep the prior version. That's why people kept saying to over-write your old comment and then delete it.

Do you have to prove to them that you don’t live in the EU or in California for them to comply with the law?
I mean if they don’t require an address I would just go with the process for them to comply as if you did live in an area with data privacy laws.Corkyskog@sh.itjust.works 1 year ago
Hmm… Now I want someone from the US to send a GDPR request to see how much time they will actually spend determining location.
maniclucky@lemmy.world 1 year ago
I sent one to get my history. Took them like a month to send it. I’m in the midwestern US and they never asked me or said anything about it. I imagine it’s different for a more exciting gdpr request (I assume there are other requests).

They never asked me for confirmation, but then again after 12 years my account was probably flagged with correct address anyway.
WarmSoda@lemm.ee 1 year ago
What can I do?
Move on with your life already, for one.
None of that matters.Aatube@kbin.social 1 year ago
Unless you delete your account, deleted and removed comments are still visible on your profile. This has been the case since I joined Reddit.
Pratai@lemmy.ca 1 year ago
Did you delete the account?
zkfcfbzr@lemmy.world 1 year ago
Not really related to your post, just me being nosey: When I go to your account page, your most recent comment was “[ Removed by Reddit ]”. What had you posted?
The_one_and_only@feddit.nl 1 year ago
Hahaha, that’s probably the only post he wanted to stay up. Reddit chose otherwise.
HubertManne@kbin.social 1 year ago
I plan to run the delete many times over the next year or something like that
Tenthrow@lemmy.world 1 year ago
As gross as this is, I just don’t think about Reddit anymore.
