A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn’t even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.

Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.

Just FYI for now. It’s late here so I’ll see how we proceed tomorrow.

    As far as I know, they only store the last version on the live system. So if you just overwrite it with gibberish and then or don’t delete it, only the backups will have your true comments.

      I’m seeing recent comments that dispute this. Users who used power delete suite have discovered their comment history restored against their will

        AFAIK all restored comments came from subs that went open again, because removal plugins can‘t remove comments and posts from private subs.

      But at least the comments will be useless to the public coz people will only see the edited one right?
