this. Being someone who had used Reddit a lot for information gathering, it really sucks that it had to go this far, so much information is being lost out of all this.
I think they would just use the normal account deletion procedure, so all comments would still be there just with a "deleted user" user
sadly the best way I can think of is just doing it a little at a time manual edits/deletes. or restricting it to be only like 300-400 posts at a time. but honestly reddit is probally just rolling back everything within x time because I was also re-logged in after logging out on all devices the night prior, which tells me they likely ran a database rollback and then migrated new data over the old data.
yea i see that now, thats super weird
the image you posted doesn't have the image that you showed there, but it could just be a weird discrepancy between kbin and lemmy.world
I know at least Apollo would not be returning, the dev made that clear when they asked about extensions that they would not be putting the bot on the platform and that regardless of if an extension was given the project was being sunset.
Or infinity, thats what caused me to leave. Losing Infinity on top of seeing just what reddit admins thought of the community as a whole made me leave.
