My friend sent me this, the current state of Reddit. (I left during the app issue and haven't looked back)

Yep, same. Multiple times daily, created posts, commented a lot.

Deleted all my accounts.

    And if you deleted all your comments... they undeleted everything.

    I don’t think this was true. The actual issue was you couldn’t see posts you’d made to private subreddits. Once those subreddits reopened, it made posts visible in their profiles and made it look like they hadn’t deleted everything.

    I have been paranoid about this, so I check every few weeks to see if they got restored secretly (I used a script to first overwrite and then delete all of my contributions, about 4k comments and a several OC posts).

    So far it seems to still be deleted

    This is such a weird urban myth.

    Personal experience on my part. I deleted 13 years of contributions on Reddit. They are ALL back. My account was deleted... but every single comment (that I checked anyway) is still there. I checked after I deleted them... and they were not visible for almost 2 months after I did the pass to delete... now they're all back.
