Why YSK: Because you may delete your account and find your comments and other content is restored and beyond your control.
DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YET.
Keep overwriting your comments over and over so they cannot just roll them back a single edit.
I prefer Power Delete Suite as it does not need authorization and just uses the website through your own browser. I will continue to overwrite my comments on repeat until the API changes.
To be utterly clear, you went from logical conjecture to wild speculation and doubled down on the latter, despite evidence mounting to the contrary. It’s not only people mistaking Reddit’s overreach. The shady shit is obvious at this point.
I get that in times such as these people become really eager to get mad about something. The less interesting reality, however, is that it’s just previously hidden comments returning to profiles now that subs are coming out of being private. For example, I nuked my profile a couple days ago and as of today I have three pages of comments. Just about all of them are from a subreddit that switched back to being public yesterday. That’s all it is.
Blowing it out of proportion and jumping to conclusions about what happened only serves to hand Reddit an easy win. They can disprove it, and at the same time discredit the protest movement.
I completely get where you’re coming from, and it seems like a good place, but you’ve gotta look at the bones of this argument you’ve got here. The simple, underlying facts of its construction. In this latest rebuttal, you get into lofty ideals and feelings, when your foundation remains off-base and planted in sand, friend. Let’s not delve into the team of full-on logical fallacy. Please, reread the thread and grasp this.
