Shredding up my Reddit comments (editing them to say fuck spez, linking to Lemmy and Kbin, not deleting but I don't care if they do end up deleted) and I got this.
I also got several hilarious AutoMod replies from different protesting subs. r/ProgrammerHumor requires a code block with an import statement before every comment, and r/shitposting has completely banned the letter B.
EDIT: So this is an AutoModerator message as pointed out by @SilverShrimp0 so might just be the r/absolutelynotme_irl mods trolling

That's from AutoModerator, which is configured by subreddit mods. Messages from Reddit admins would not come from AutoModerator.
jcg@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Huh, I just realized that but I'm not sure what the AutoMod rule would be in that case.
TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
It's definitely subs automod, I used the delete tool a few years ago and got multiple messages telling me to stop scrubbing my comments
Korne127@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
That's actually really interesting that subreddit mods set it up that way that it notices if someone changes so much so quickly and send such a message. I would have never thought of that, but I mean I guess it makes sense if they want to keep the subreddit content. Still really interesting. So these mods probably want to intimidate the person to get them to stop?
TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Well it worked on me lol.. I stopped deleting my comments and just deleted my account
Korne127@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 3y
Does that keep your comments forever?
TheBig2023Meltdown@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Yes, but your account becomes "unlinked" from that comment. The user is shown as [deleted]
I tend not to delete my comments anymore because many people use Reddit as a source for information and I find it frustrating when a potential solution for me has their comments deleted
Korne127@lemmy.world · 0 pts · 3y
Yeah, I know that with [deleted], but thanks for the answer.
That's just interesting for me because I thought a company would need to delete all information about a user if they delete their account… I wonder if this is conform to the GPDR.
ActuallyRuben@actuallyruben.nl · 2 pts · 3y
Indeed, it even says "this subreddit" at the bottom. I wonder which sub it links to. And I wonder if OP was fooled by this, or intentionally helping in spreading misinformation.
someguy3@lemmy.ca · 11 pts · 3y
On a laptop you can sort your comments by "top" and manually delete. Those are the highest visibility anyway.
admiralteal@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
I believe only your most recent 1000 comments show up tied to your profile, so you cannot delete any but those. Deleting #1 doesn't bump #1001 into slot #1000
The lists are a bit different for controversial/top/hot, which is why the deletion tools all check all three.
Older comments will still exist and be search-indexable, editable, and deletable, but you'll have to find them... manually. I guess with 3P search engines? A nightmare.
Meaning Reddit is in violation of municipalities that have data deletion rules, but so far no one seems to care.
Bozicus@lemmy.one · 3 pts · 3y
You can also do this if you request "desktop site" on a mobile browser.
TheOneWithTheHair@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Older comments (1 year+), if you delete will simply re-appear. Then I tried editing old comments yesterday (using public domain filler text), but overnight my comments have been "restored". Newer stuff you can certainly do this to.
someguy3@lemmy.ca · 4 pts · 3y
Someone said it's the caching or refreshing. Check again in a bit and let us know.
TheOneWithTheHair@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
I checked it. They're still reset to the old data. My edits meant nothing.
darthpenis69@lemmy.world · 7 pts · 3y
Lmao. This is great, reddit seems to be progressing their death spiral at an even greater rate now.
MAsHPoTT@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Love that “intended reddit experience” quip even if it is an automod.
T0rrent01@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
The character of phrasing and verbiage gives off strikingly similar vibes to Weimar Germany.
Tar_alcaran@lemmy.world · 5 pts · 3y
Good reminder that I need to do this today. Thanks!
ImplyingImplications@lemmy.ca · 5 pts · 3y
They really had to add the TM didn't they?
paddirn@lemmy.world · 4 pts · 3y
In the process of deleting now "[COMMENT DELETED - API NOT FOUND]", I've been getting different Automod messages from different communities, but haven't gotten anything like that
ForestOrca@kbin.social · 4 pts · 3y
Too late. I wiped it all. " r/ProgrammerHumor requires a code block with an import statement before every comment, and r/shitposting has completely banned the letter B." That's hilarious, btw.
Cinner@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
What was it? I know it wasn't really from reddit but I wanted to see what it said.
nameless_prole@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Right? Am I missing something? Can we see the thing you're referring to, OP?
Kuujaku@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I was getting this
EDIT: Also now getting this

funkyb@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
yea that should have been linked in the post itself. was quite confused what you were talking about.
Also - that's freaking hilarious and my hats off to the mod team of that sub. This has nothing to do with you using the delete scripts.
charlieb@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Ok I legitimately love this lol
poiy@kbin.social · 3 pts · 3y
used powerdeletesuite already, no comments, no posts left, everything got overwritten before deleting it with mostly gibberish. f spezzo
Hobovision@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Where do those links take you? The mods might be doing that to demonstrate what could be coming in the future if reddit continues down this path.
jcg@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Links you to the Reddit user agreement and chat features for some reason.
MediocreAtLife@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Glad I left reddit, I think it's just going to turn into a place where the weirdos of the internet go if they keep this up
McBinary@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Reddit just got the same treatment that facebook did when all the boomer parents showed up in force and all the young people moved on to insta/tiktok.
gk99@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Kinda already is. Everyone over here is so much more polite than on reddit, which implies reddit has lost a chunk of the community that doesn't suck.
drinkleadsoup@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
Absolutely this. It's been so pleasant to see proper grammar usage again.
magnetosphere@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
They are really going all out to pour gasoline on this dumpster fire. Imagine if they put even half as much effort into improving the official app.
K3zi4@lemmy.world · 2 pts · 3y
Used it last night and wiped 12 years of history from my account, rewrote several comments to say I was an RiF user. It actually got me banned from a couple subs for spam. Not that it matters, shame it had to come to this!
Korne127@lemmy.world · 1 pts · 3y
Have you downloaded the content before or anything like this? I mean I know that's a deeply personal stuff, but I could never imagine just deleting so much I put time into before I get a backup and can at least personally still have it.
SeeStars@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
glad I finally left that shithole.
CannedTuna@kbin.social · 2 pts · 3y
I also used Power Suite Delete to edit my comments to “fuck /u/spez” before deleting and several subreddits sent auto messages saying something along the lines of “your comment contains a subject that is not appropriate… etc… since it looks like you are removing your comment/post we have deleted it for you” but that’s all I got
McBinary@kbin.social · 1 pts · 3y
Reddit is automatically editing user posts that have lemmy links in them to just say "[Removed by Reddit]" - You likely got nagged for editing comments to have lemmy links in it.,
testgoatpleaseignore@sopuli.xyz · 1 pts · 3y
Hilarious.
I've been doing this for years personally. I only ever kept my reddit account for 6 months at a time, after which I'd make a new one, and I would override every comment after a month with blank text.
Valmond@lemmy.mindoki.com · 1 pts · 2y
Okay so where is that nuke script before it won't work anymore?!
Against the rules to use an adblocker? WTF.
