The fact that Reddit can still tell you that the user deleted their account is proof that not all of that user’s data in their systems are deleted. It may just be a flag in an account that marks them as “deleted”, and so whenever data about that account is being retrieved, their API server will look at that flag, and tell the recipient that the account is “deleted”. People in the software industry calls this “soft deletion”.
I learned in SQL class that you never ever hard delete data when there is any alternative. On Facebook and Twitter you get a whole month to change your mind before your account can't be recovered.
I've heard of people using Facebook for free image hosting, because even if you delete the photo, if you keep the URL where it was located, it will stay there forever. I'm not sure if this is still the case.
It was often said that to properly clean up all your reddit data you should edit your posts before you delete them. Likely the edit will change the record in-place in the DB (as keeping a full edit history would be a nightmare) and deleting the post likely just sets a flag.
I've wondered about this quite a bit. If I were a fucking asshole like spez and wanted to defeat edit/delete scripts, I would set it so there's 2 entries, one is the original comment and a second column for an edited value. Everytime there's an edit update the 2nd one.
I had the idea to start all my comments with gibberish, and then edit with my actual comment, but that got a little tedious lol.
Bruh I logged into my Spotify account and it reactivated the Facebook account I had requested be deleted a more than a year prior
AWS is the same. Literally unable to delete an account as you have to wait for 30 days after terminating the account.
Based.
But on a serious note I was getting really sick of reddit (especially the default/large subs) even before this debacle with third party apps. But I am not sure how much it's me that have changed and how much it's actually reddit having changed. I guess it's a bit/a lot of both.
f7u12 was a long time ago now
I don’t know how anyone used Reddit without unsubscribing from the default subs. There was just so much stupid stuff…
(I see the irony of saying this in shitposts… but I’ll probably unsubscribe from here too when it gets bigger)
When I was younger, I had so much more free time to argue with detail-oriented people who would quote my whole post but with interruptions to nitpick each sentence.
Now I'm like "well now they're just deliberately not getting it."
I was a member of reddit for 15 years and accumulated 150K in karma. 1 week ago, I was shadowbanned - probably because I suggested kbin.social multiple times. No reason, no warning - just total ban. I can still logon but nobody else can see my posts or history. F**kers.
Did the same thing two weeks ago. It was an 11 year old account.
Now it's all gone. Every bit of advice I gave, things I learned, knowledge I passed along, and pointless arguments I had, have all gone to the bit bucket.
And I feel good about it.
Like tears in rain...
Time... to die.
/Best Sci-Fi monologue ever.
Agreed. I show this in a class that I teach most semesters. It holds up surprisingly well.
I’ve been searching on Google for info that I mostly find on Reddit. I’ve come across several deleted posts and I’m like man I need that piece of info :(. But I get it because I deleted my long-time account too. Hopefully we’ll soon build Lemmy to become a helpful source.
You can still find those answers without giving Reddit any ad revenue. All you have to do is take the link from Google copy it. Go up to the URL bar and type cache: and the link.
You used to be able to open the hamburger menu next to Google search results and directly view a cached page. This is doing the same thing, Google just took away the button.
Nearly 9 years for me. Thousands of comments and links. Nuked the lot. Mixed feelings but to hell with spez.
Nuked mine on the 30th when Apollo went down. Ten years, secret Santa, snack exchanges, all kinds of discussions from people all over the world. All burned because of one rich cunt who just has to be richer.
Bittersweet to leave but this feels like a new beginning, chance to find new communities that aren’t sponsored or bot driven
TBH It was a fun journey, but sadly all good things must come to an end. And now it is up to us, the Lemmy community to create a fun place for others.
I clicked a link that brought me to reddit yesterday, and you know ehat i noticed on the 5 month old thread? A bunch of deleted user names but the comments and info shared was still there under deleted
They deleted their account without deleting the comment. It has always been this way in my experience.
This is illegal, at least under the GDPR, so Reddit could be sued about that.
Disclaimer: I'm no lawyer, so this is no legal advice and I could be wrong.
My understanding is that it is only illegal if the information is personally identifiable… and posting such was against the rules anyway.
It still pisses me off that they decided to rate limit comment edits/deletes just as everyone was making the exodus.
The way reddit has always worked is that if you delete your user account your comments become anonymous. To delete your post history you have to delete all your comments before deleting your account. And beyond that, you should edit your comments, then delete them, then delete your account.
The stated reason for this is so if someone delete their account, any useful information they may have provided (answers to questions, for example) doesn't get lost as well. Otherwise deleting your account makes the old information useless, which hurts those looking for answers.
Fuck u/spez, that greedy little pig boy.
Just deleted mine after seeing this. My reason for leaving comment: "Pee pee poo poo"
That's about as good a reason for deleting an account as I've ever seen.
I deleted a few weeks ago. I never left any personally identifiable comments, but I do miss the platform. It's a shame what greed does to people.
This is pretty much why I'm in favor of worker coops or any other form of democratizing the work place. All it takes is a greedy CEO or a shareholder board wanting increasing profits to ruin a good thing. If the workers themselves are the ones making those decisions, then you need to convince the majority of the company to ruin a good thing. Somehow I doubt the people doing the actual work at Reddit would've decided to fuck the site like that.
Welcome muhyb, welcome.
Come sit down and rest. We have vintage memes on draught. There are many refugees here. It is good.
Thanks. Old memes are better anyway.
Yesterday I finally did it also, deleted my Twitter account from 2008 and my Reddit account from 2006. It's better like that. I still have Instagram and Facebook which is more difficult to delete because that's where friends and family still post who I would like to stay in touch with.
I work in IT and the forums for that are the only reason I still have an account. But I rarely use it and will delete when hopefully the Lemmy community grows to include those as well
Depends on what area of IT you’re in as to whether or not this is even relevant, but have you seen the https://programming.dev/ Lemmy instance?
Maybe it's accelerating? I just learned of this migration and immediately made an account. I hated the old reddit mods for stymying conversation by removing everything that didn't fit that individuals narrative. I was actually pro API changes because it pissed off reddit mods. Do you want Lemmy to be like reddit was in terms of moderation? I don't want a cesspool like twitter; I do want people to be less remove/ban heavy.
I'll migrate here permanently if I can get a version of reddit where the idiots who only care about jokes and upvotes stay over there.
No, definitely don't want it to be like reddit with bans and removes. There's a down vote button for a reason, so I think communities moderate themselves with that. Down voted comments will remain, just at the bottom of threads so people can see. I also hate some of the rules regarding what type of questions to post and some posts getting removed because they broke a rule. Again, down votes and comments can steer the OP in the right direction. The only thing I want migrating from reddit is the scope: the fact that every hobby, brand and platform had a universal forum was nice.
I've manually removed all my posts before deleting the account and they are still available ... This is total bullshit but I still I will never have second thought.
Although there are personal information on some of these posts (eg. link to Github with my first/last name in it), so maybe I can press charge or something ...
If you are European GDPR applies to you and you are probably in a good position to sue if they don't delete your data.
230k karma, 0 posts in Q3 2023. Fuck you spez
190k karma, 0 posts, 0 comments.
Changed every 2,8k comments to "Fuck u/spez" before deleting it. Just in case they get restored.
Used PowerDeleteSuite if anyone is wondering.
I was u/aeughfish. Reddit sucked to the point to where I deleted my account. It had over 20,000 karma.
reddit bad
pls gibe upvotes
thx
I think that doesn't really work like that here, since we don't have fake dopamine flakes (a.k.a karma).
