👿 PSA: #Reddit is restoring deleted and overwritten posts to save what they consider "their data". This is a new low and probably illegal at least in Europe. You can send a GDPR or CPRA request here: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request
These are screenshots of my profile on June 14th before and after overwriting and then deleting all my posts with Powerdelete. Today, June 16th all my posts have been restored by Reddit without my knowledge or consent.

Strange. I deleted all my posts and comments and then my account a few days ago and they don’t seem to be restored. Could it be a difference of manual vs automated deleting?
I used redact to do this and my edits were reverted and my comments un-deleted. Presuming that this was because I used a tool and it was easily identifiable as being done via API, I went back in and manually edited about 30% of my comments last night and noticed that they were all reverted again today. I’ve now manually gone in and edited all of my comments this morning and deleted them as of about 2 hours ago and they have not returned yet.

I manually deleted a bunch of my posts over the last week and all of them have been restored.
I’ve edited all my posts to read
“Comment Removed - leaving Reddit due to API changes”
Deleting the account leaves up the content. Doing it this way is a little time consuming but it’ll get the point across better

I manually deleted mine, and about half were restored when I just took a look.
