Why YSK: Because you may delete your account and find your comments and other content is restored and beyond your control.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YET.

Keep overwriting your comments over and over so they cannot just roll them back a single edit.

I prefer Power Delete Suite as it does not need authorization and just uses the website through your own browser. I will continue to overwrite my comments on repeat until the API changes.

Would that account for edited comments, as well? I see others are talking about comments that they edited (not deleted) being restored to a prior version.

Yes. It's just people seeing comments from now public subs return to their profiles again and mistaking them for comments they thought they had already deleted/edited.

To be utterly clear, you went from logical conjecture to wild speculation and doubled down on the latter, despite evidence mounting to the contrary. It's not only people mistaking Reddit's overreach. The shady shit is obvious at this point.

I get that in times such as these people become really eager to get mad about something. The less interesting reality, however, is that it's just previously hidden comments returning to profiles now that subs are coming out of being private. For example, I nuked my profile a couple days ago and as of today I have three pages of comments. Just about all of them are from a subreddit that switched back to being public yesterday. That's all it is.

Blowing it out of proportion and jumping to conclusions about what happened only serves to hand Reddit an easy win. They can disprove it, and at the same time discredit the protest movement.

The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:

Rules (interactive)


Rule 1- All posts must begin with YSK.

All posts must begin with YSK. If you're a Mastodon user, then include YSK after @youshouldknow. This is a community to share tips and tricks that will help you improve your life.



Rule 2- Your post body text must include the reason "Why" YSK:

**In your post's text body, you must include the reason "Why" YSK: It’s helpful for readability, and informs readers about the importance of the content. **



Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.

Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.



Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.

That's it.



Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.

Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.



Rule 6- Regarding non-YSK posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-YSK posts using the [META] tag on your post title.



Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

If you are a member, sympathizer or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.



Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.



Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.

Let everyone have their own content.
