Oh that's sketchy AF. Can you share a screenshot? Not that I disbelieve you, but I'd love to see proof of reddit's fuckery with not actually removing content
I haven't yet overwritten/deleted my comments because I haven't been back since the initial blackout so I can't verify it myself
It's easily verifiable.
Just go to my reddit profile (yes, different spelling) and you can see that it's empty. Then do a Google search, follow the links to the actual reddit thread pages and my comments are still there.
Hey thanks for that! Yeah that is straight fucked
There's a lot of talk about using a gdpr request for data deletion even if you don't live in the eu because it's just more headache for them and they may possibly honor it anyway
