[might not really be Reddit] Reddit threatens you for using Power Delete Suite and other tools now
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
You're viewing part of a thread.
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
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.
I have no idea about the gdpr aspect but I would assume it's fine because that comment is in no way linked back to you. I could be wrong
Why is it not linked to you? I could write my name here, my address, any personified information. And I think even without that a company must delete everything it got from you if you want.
By that I meant linked back to your Reddit account
If you wrote any personal info on a public forum, it's probably already been archived somewhere anyways especially with Reddit (I can find most threads on archive.org)
I get what you mean by deleting your comments too though, but all I know is that Reddit doesn't do that. It just keeps the comment but makes it "anonymous"
I know that most stuff is archived and everything, but my point still is that I thought that companies like Reddit have to delete all content a user generated like that. As I said, that's just what I'm pretty sure the law here was like, but I mean, probably I'm wrong. It's still very interesting to me; I might look into this at some other time.
