Went to go delete my #reddit account, and of course several of my posts were restored. Running #PowerDeleteSuite again before I whack the bugger.
Update: my six year old #Reddit account is now dead.
Press F to pay respe-- to say #EffYouReddit XD

Never got my download from #reddit, so I ran #PowerDeleteSuite to shred and delete everything on my account.
Will be deleting my account Jun 30.
Edit: diction/clarification
The #reddit battle is fascinating because there are a lot of techies on the platform that are posting (for free), moderating (for free) and trying to take ownership of their posts by using #PowerDeleteSuite to overwrite or delete the comments/posts they made to the platform (for free).
Someone was told to restore the old posts - it wasn’t some glitch, but the message is clear to users “We own your data and F U”. Interesting corporate message.
From @jbe
In protest of recent changes to #Reddit's API terms, some of the site's users ran apps like #PowerDeleteSuite to overwrite or delete their entire Reddit comment and post history.
This morning, multiple users across the Fediverse are claiming that Reddit has quietly restored their overwritten/deleted posts.
Some claim this unrequested & undesired restoration of history seems limited to accounts who used PDS. Others speculate this could be a server-rollback issue.
