I took part in the Reddit blackout a month ago, and accessed Reddit through Apollo. After the blackout I looked at Reddit a handful of times and then let my association with Reddit die with Apollo.

I haven’t been there since, but now I feel as though I should have deleted my account of 7 years, that way everything I ever contributed will be gone.

However, to accomplish this as you all know I should delete all my posts first and edit all comments. I was wondering what people used to do this. I want everything to read “Edit: moved to Lemmy”.

I’m sure others migrating here have the same question. Thanks.

It's not just a conspiracy theory that they have restored deleted comments.

I deleted all of my comments twice because they were restored after the "blackout" a few weeks ago, even though they were deleted well before that outage started.

I am in this pickle and idk what to do. I purged all my content and requested the data under gdpr. Finally I got my data and what do ya know? Theres a whole section of my (undeleted???) comments, with additional info like date, which subreddit etc. Before I purged my comments I edited them saying "fuck spez" lol and the list I got from Reddit was mixed edited and unedited. How is that even possible?When I log in, my page is empty, as if everything is actually deleted. What to do now?

Exactly. I've heard the same from many other Lemmings here.
