I decided to edit all of my comments to say that I left Reddit in protest and provide a link to the Fediverse. If I leave the comments up when I delete my account, can Reddit edit them back to what they originally were? Should I just delete them?
@sanctuary_sanctuary Yes… looking at the past history of Reddit actions. Reddit is constantly restoring threads and comments. Even deleted ones. Which is against various privacy protection acts.
Are you doing that by hand? Or is there some bot for it?
@Tar_alcaran I did it by hand, but I had deleted my 10 year account a couple months ago for unrelated reasons so I didn’t have many comments.
can Reddit edit them back to what they originally were?
Yes.
Should I just delete them?
They can restore deleted comments too.
