#12Hanlon's razor.
Anyone who has used Reddit for any period of time (or basically any similar site, which includes FB, Twitter, and even HN), has seen data consistency issues during high load (like periods of activism). Shards die or fall out of quorum, work queues get purged, etc. That's the reality of systems with a lot of very low value data.
Eventually consistent, but also perpetually inconsistent.

#14Does this comply with GDPR?
I would like to say yes but, if it's a comment being restored containing personally identifiable information of the person that deleted it than I would say no. With that said I believe you need to have a formal request to remove PII and I have some doubts if deleting or obfuscating a reddit comment you made qualifies as such.

#15Every European Reddit user should put in a full GDPR data request.

#16Where does the idea come from that not allowing users to delete content is against the law/GPDR? You have the right to ask for deletion of personal information they store, and even that has certain limits. You don't have the right to force the company to delete content unless they granted you that right via the licence somehow. Whether this is a good or bad idea for a company to do is a different question. But I don'…
What if that content includes personal data about me? My hopes, dreams, preferences, plans, goals and political opinions?

#18Clicking on the title of the kbin post takes you here where there are more comments: https://mstdn.games/@chris/110553477682106144 This seems like such an unwise thing for them to do that I feel like there must be another explanation.

#20This is crazy! I like the following comment on kbin: > I said it before and I say it again: if you have the patience to do so then make sure you overwrite your content with chatgpt generated content, as the future AI that will feed on your post HATE feeding on already AI generated stuff. It makes the AI diverge. People should not be deleting their posts but actually just replacing them with random AI generated conten…
I've actually been thinking about building this sort of thing as a Chrome extension, a generic comment/tweet deleting app. More for privacy reasons than protest ones. The web based services that do this via APIs never seem to stick around long which is why a browser extension makes more sense IMO.
The AI thing is clever.
