Is read in one of these threads about reddit reporting deleted comments that if you white your comments and then delete it, they’ll restore the edited version when next they do that.
A good edit would be:
I’m leaving reddit for good, because of how the admins and owners are mistreating third party app developers, mods, and users. I’ve moved to the Fediverse, which is a much nicer place, made by users and for users. I advise any who read this to do the same.
Here are a few links to get started:
Wish someone would write a script that could do this for all comments.
There are actually scripts that do exactly that, edit each comment with a predefined text and then delete it.
I do think genuinely there’s quite a bit going on here. They genuinely could be deleting comments, but there’s a LOT that goes into it. Different caching servers not updating, reverting to old caches, subreddits being re-enabled and hidden comments being shown again, and lots of things. I do tend to think that Reddit is a shitty company with no respect for their average user, but this is a situation that from a technical standpoint there’s a lot in that pipeline that can go wrong and revert back to old data for safety.
