Cool, cool cool cool. Nothing dystopian about that at all.
Remimds me of when everyone was deleting their posts around the API blackout and suddenly the next day it was like Reddit did a restore from checkpoint and all of the edited posts and deleted posts came right back. I for one had to run the script that replaced then delete my posts twice, but that's besides the point.
Same, but then a bunch of mine popped up again sometime in the last few months. Not exactly sure when, and it wasn’t all of them.
I didn’t run the replace script tho, I wish I would’ve.
Did they actually come back or did a bunch of comments not show up in your profile because the subs were private so they didn't get deleted, then they reappeared when the subs reopened? I thought some of mine were restored too, but it was a combination of that and the tool I used only hitting the most recent 1000.
Not a bad guess, and it’s always possible there may have been a handful for which that were true, but no. The bulk of them were from subs that have been public for years and continue to be. I’d been at zero comments for pert near 2 years? A bit more. I would check every now and again after they all came back early on. Then suddenly I noticed a few thousand were back, all from 2011-2014 or thereabouts.
Indeed, replacing the posts with irrelevant jibberish was the way
What script is this?
I used this in the past, not sure itll still work, it worked with old.reddit a few years back

there's otherones that edit comments as opposed to deleting them, either way reddit keeps a copy, just fyi
Thank you!
