Spez thinks that redditors are junkies who are hooked and can’t leave. It was easier than I thought it would be to leave. I only log in once a week for 5 minutes to delete any posts or comments they’ve restored against my will.
Reddit admins can and have modified users’ posts/comments in the past, however, the recent reports have mostly been traceable to simple rollbacks and de-privatization of subreddits.
Not all of them are from that. I have had manually deleted comments pop back up with no changes to the subreddits in question. Whether it’s malicious is a different question, of course. I kind of doubt anyone is doing it on purpose. But it does show that deletion on Reddit doesn’t work well enough to comply with EU privacy laws, so that’s fun.
