      Disagree. The frustration caused to individuals looking for an answer far outweighs the utterly inconsequential reduction in Reddit’s “value” by removing the comment. Burning your Reddit history is performative nonsense that only causes problems for frustrated individuals.

          I don’t even understand why a pedophile is allowed to run reddit… (And another one runs the country.) How did everything get so fucked up? Nobody has morals anymore, nobody gets upset anymore! We just accept our reality and then carry on. Where is the testosterone-fueled anger?

            Are you basing the pedo comment on him supposedly being a mod of the jailbait sub? As far as I’m aware that was when a mod could elevate any user account to mod status without needing them to confirm. Someone made his account a mod as a joke. An account that was probably run by a pr team.

            I’m not suggesting he’s a great guy or anything, but calling people a pedo because you don’t like them has Elon Musk vibes.

              The problem here is he was made aware of what was on his platform and did nothing, which is all the support it needed.

        I wrote my comments when they were morally decent. Then they decided to become morally indecent AND sell my data as their own.

        Burning your reddit history is FAR more that preformative you people like you woudn’t be here bitching about it.

        Go find your answers on AI, they’ve successfully scraped the old reddit and spez and screw off before he make another dime off my help.

        It is nothing more than performative because reddit still has the comments. Deleting them does nothing but make them not user facing anymore.

          I remember in the Exodus of Reddit that I was a part of, there was a program/script which would rewrite all your comments into mumbo jumbo before deleting them. Doesn’t mean they couldn’t still have the very original comment though.

          They probably weren’t looking for the answer on reddit specifically. Back when google worked properly you could just search for your question and often a relevant reddit thread would be high up on the list of results.

        Unfortunately if you are banned like I was, you can’t use these tools.

        (Banned because whayever AI mod bull shit they rolled out this year is agressive as fuck with eiththing that has “violent connotations”. Also, Fuck Reddit.)

          I’m unfamiliar. Is redact’s dev also building a library of the info redact processes? That would be so ironic. A dataset made from people trying to remove themselves from reddit’s dataset.

            It’s not known definitively if they do keep the info, but it’s been speculated that yes they do. Dan Saltman has been accused of extreme harassment and stalking and is very close with a streamer called Destiny who is a known pedophile.
