BS, I say!
People finding out the internet never forgets, and never forgives.
Based on EU law, reddit has to delete your stuff when you ask. Right to be forgotten and all that .
This is Google remembering. Not reddit.
Google cache does expire so it will forget eventually. The problem is when you go to the original on reddit, we’re seeing that some of the comments still have their text intact, but with a [deleted] username now.
This is the expected behavior on Reddit when you delete your account. None of your posts go anywhere. You have to manually, before you delete your account, edit them to remove their contents. Requests for deletion under GDPR may function differently.
Well google doesn’t have realtime results. They obviously still have your account on there, because they crawled it propable ages ago…
When you click the link though, reddit tells you that this account doesn’t exist, so no BS. Just how such things workBut I can see the post just with the “[deleted]” username, or is it just me? I edited those to say something else and then delete them, so I wonder if I’m the only one I can see them.
I don’t really know what you mean
I do. I see the same thing as OP. I think what happened is this was a post from a sub that was private when OP deleted the account, but went public after. Or maybe a really old one that was somehow past the visibility limit. But yeah the comment is still there - and now uneditable and undeletable.
Unless its something you are desperately trying to find, nothing disappears from the internet.
Agreed it is BS
A lot of folks get hit by this, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than
They think they deleted it all, but stuff got missed.
A lot of folks also seem to be using PDS. Remember that PDS is also affected by this limitation.
