No, that's not what I'm saying; I'm well aware of Google caching. I'm saying the actual reddit comment threads themselves are still showing my comments while my user profile is empty.
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
