I didn’t delete my account but I used a script to edit all my messages to say that I have left because of the attack on 3rd party apps and when I check now they all still say that.
The point is doesn’t matter what is visible, they could be storing all the comments edit history and simply not show it.
That only helps for a third party without access to reddit data , which they could have if reddit sells it to them, from scraping the page, yes in that case your comments cannot be used.
Yeah. At most they’d mark the comments as inactive, hide from the user accessible areas and maybe anonymize the user id. But they definitely have the username table and the data still in the system, 100%, just waiting for the right offer.
You really think they don’t have your original comments stored?
