Calling him evil is giving him too much credit. I think incompetence and gross negligence better cover it.

Never attribute to malice that which can be easily explained by incompetence or indifference.

Never assume that “malice” and “incompetence” are mutually exclusive.

Totally outrageous. Never in a mlllion years would I have thought this.

Also, totally on par for the course for the current ceo.

Actually, this video is about the other video. So the 3rd point - restoring comments after getting the legal request to delete, may not be totally accurate. https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/101759/Reddit-violates-CCPA#entry-comment-413421

But the main gist - that reddit is violating CCPA - is still correct.

this is why everyone needs to edit all their comments instead of deleting them. i edited all the comments on my 14 year old account using a script. i got banned from like 5 subs in the process - but a few days later still not rolled back

remember the API is liable to change in the next few days… if someone wants to do this they need to do it now while they still can

I used to delete my comments regularly, but fell out of the habit a few years ago. I’m currently going through my history manually to overwrite and delete everything - fortunately I wasn’t a prolific commenter, and it’s kind of nice to see my history.

I used a script to edit mine, and most of them have been reverted multiple times in the last week. Some of them retain my edits, so I keep running the script.

Another user was having a similar problem with Reddit not retaining their edits when running a script. They fixed the issue by putting a time delay of five or six seconds between edits. Not saying this will work for you but might be worth looking into.

I don’t suppose there’s any way to do that if you deleted your account after deleting comments?

It’s interesting how much worse this link is faring on the subreddit.
