Update: As some have pointed out: the restores can be rollbacks from the server issues or post haven’t been properly deleted due to subs being private during blackouts. Many have experienced the same issue, I can’t explain how this happens. I’ll just run the script again, try the GDPR request and delete my account.
Also worth noting: according to the ToS Reddit can actually do whatever they want with existing content, apparently we agreed to this when signing up.
looks like my comments deleted before blackout started are still deleted, so did they restore only more recent deletions?
Possibly, but several people reported some old post have been restored as well, some deleted a long time ago.
