Shredding up my Reddit comments (editing them to say fuck spez, linking to Lemmy and Kbin, not deleting but I don’t care if they do end up deleted) and I got this.

I also got several hilarious AutoMod replies from different protesting subs. r/ProgrammerHumor requires a code block with an import statement before every comment, and r/shitposting has completely banned the letter B.

EDIT: So this is an AutoModerator message as pointed out by @SilverShrimp0 so might just be the r/absolutelynotme_irl mods trolling

        Yes, but your account becomes “unlinked” from that comment. The user is shown as [deleted]

        I tend not to delete my comments anymore because many people use Reddit as a source for information and I find it frustrating when a potential solution for me has their comments deleted

          Yeah, I know that with [deleted], but thanks for the answer.

          That’s just interesting for me because I thought a company would need to delete all information about a user if they delete their account… I wonder if this is conform to the GPDR.

            I have no idea about the gdpr aspect but I would assume it’s fine because that comment is in no way linked back to you. I could be wrong

              Why is it not linked to you? I could write my name here, my address, any personified information. And I think even without that a company must delete everything it got from you if you want.

                By that I meant linked back to your Reddit account

                If you wrote any personal info on a public forum, it’s probably already been archived somewhere anyways especially with Reddit (I can find most threads on archive.org)

                I get what you mean by deleting your comments too though, but all I know is that Reddit doesn’t do that. It just keeps the comment but makes it “anonymous”

                  I know that most stuff is archived and everything, but my point still is that I thought that companies like Reddit have to delete all content a user generated like that. As I said, that’s just what I’m pretty sure the law here was like, but I mean, probably I’m wrong. It’s still very interesting to me; I might look into this at some other time.
