So long and thanks for all the fish, reddit.
Using the PowerDeleteSuite (while it still works) to edit all my comments from a 12 year old account.
P.S. If you want to mass edit and/or delete your comments, do it now (before 01 July when this tool which uses the reddit API stops working).
P.P.S. Yes, I blacked out the embarrassing amount of gold I gave to that dumpster fire of a site.
what do you mean illegal? Its my content, the rights i assign to reddit is so they can republish my content, they like to reach out and extend it further but its not enforceable. i can edit my content as i please, its not theirs to own, its theirs to remix and republish without royalty.
people have very broken ideas of how copyright works, its no wonder we hand it all over so easily.
EDIT: Also they can’t trigger on edits, its much harder for them to do and would result in a deluge of support issues compared to just undeleting stuff. Source, I do this for a living.
I’m talking about them rolling back your deleted messages. That seems illegal for them to do and was wondering where you got the impression that they would do such a thing.
If you do this for a living you probably know about the right to erasure. I don’t see any exception there that would be applicable to Reddit.
