News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
Known issue for older accounts with more than 1,000 posts. You should be using the Google search site:Reddit.com username to return more content to delete.
You can also do a data request on Reddit which will deliver your data on spreadsheets.
I never had my deletions reversed. The only thing that did happen is when subreddits restored, I had to delete that content too.
I had 6 accounts. I now have zero.
Ugh, that's extremely disappointing. I've got thousands of comments coming up on Google all the way back to 2009 that don't show up on Reddit searches or my profile anymore. I wonder if there's an automated way I can edit and then delete these.
There’s a premium service called Shreddit that will take your GDPR request files and delete them for you.
YSK though that your top results in Google are also likely to be the top traffic to Reddit. So deleting top down will remove those traffic sources to Reddit.
My top 5 results a month ago were also the posts that were driving questions via PM years later.
I didn’t pay to delete mine. I didn’t have as much as you guys to worry about. Maybe 400 or so. Every couple years I created new accounts. I lucked out because of it.
Likewise - 11,500 hits on google
Remember Google still knows of your deleted content if you just did your account wipe. Those will take a few weeks to not show up.
The way listings work on reddit is very confusing to most users. I used to think that listings refilled once you removed things from them, but they don't. If you have more than 1000 posts, comments, or whatever, you won't ever see the 1001st thing.
Meaning that posts aren't actually removed, just set to deleted in the database. Also means that they don't use that deleted flag in the database query, instead filtering out the deleted posts after they have been retrieved, which in my mind would be a less efficient way to do it.
That's why so many people tell you to edit your comments prior to deletion, I guess.
