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.

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.

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.

👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request
These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent.
