This is the second time this has happened. I delete all my old posts and comments using PowerDeleteSuite. I view my profile - everything selected is gone. A few months later, it’s all back. I repeat the process, verifying it’s all gone. I log in today, months later, and it’s back. Simply maddening.
Is there anything I can do to make it stick?
That stopped working ages ago. They have everything backed up in a data base. It’s suspected they always had it so all those apps that would go and scramble you texts into nonsense didn’t matter since they could just sell the backups to llm and whoever else.
It’s widely accepted anything you typed into that website is saved in its entirety and by version
We also have claims of Reddit restoring scrambled AND deleted comments back to the original comment?
It’s not that it’s restored to original in the public facing reddit. Just that they have it and can sell it in its original form. Your web facing account only matters to web scrapers.
