    There are reports of them already restoring deleted content, too. They have zero respect for their users’ autonomy.

    Edit: Someone started a thread about it here

            Make sure the press hears about this. We’re still ranting about spez editing comments years after the fact; not only disobeying a user’s wishes, but violating the law?. That’s a whole other kettle of fish.

        You could try editing all the posts/comments instead - even possibly doing it a few times. I doubt whatever intern they got to start undeleting user data is going to be very thorough and won’t look through several edits

        Not sure if it’s what happened, but remember that content in private subreddits isn’t on your profile and thus cannot be deleted.

        When it opens back up, your content will now appear on your profile. (Run it again as-needed)

          Some of the comments are on a sub that I know specifically did not go dark or private during the protest, so I don’t think it is solely from that. I’m going to do it again with a different program, and I will continue to do it until someone leaves it alone. Right now the reddit admin are on alert, but eventually they’ll stop paying attention.
