terve@aussie.zonetoLemmy.World Announcements@lemmy.world•PSA: There is a tool called Shreddit which you can use to delete all your content from Reddit. I have shredded 1000 posts as part of migrating to Lemmy and you should too.English

1 year agoI’m curious if anyone else can replicate this, but I used redact.dev to delete my post/comment history. Then I requested for the data download using GDPR as my reasoning.
At this point, my comment history et al was gone. I was about to delete my account too, but I figured I’d wait for the download link in my messages.
That was three days ago, I’ve checked for the link every day and instead of it appearing. All my posts & comments have been restored in a piecemeal fashion.
1 comment after the first day, 5 comments the next day, and so on.
These were comments that redact.dev had edited, then deleted.
Still no data download link tho
I’ll bite, as someone who’s been on the internets for almost 25 years. What is it?
EDIT: I’m not trying to be snide or antagonistic, Imm genuinely curious because with the influx of post-3PA Redditors, I’m seeing dumb memes and I feel distressed about finding myself relating to that whingy-old HAM/FreeBSD guy on IRC.
