As Reddit Crushes Protests, Its User Traffic Returns to Normal
User visits and time spent on the social media platform normalize after traffic to Reddit briefly dipped last week during the blackout, according to SimilarWeb.
You're viewing a single thread.
I look up my acct and see my deleted comments and posts being magically revived. Did screen caps of most of it and it is definitely a real thing. Is that a metric for traffic?
Depending on where you live isn't this a violation of our right to privacy? At least in the EU.
Only when requested via special form I believe.
I should prepare a guide on how to take your data with you when quitting Reddit.
For instance when you want to be able to prove that it's your account without disclosing your legal name publicly on Reddit you may use keyoxide.org for cryptographic proof. I think I'll talk to keyoxide folks about a method of obfuscating those proofs so they are harder for Reddit to systematically delete.
I understand not everyone will be willing to go to court for this, but at this point I want enough of us to be able to to get them fined enough for every platform to notice.
That’s why you should mass edit instead of mass delete

It also has the ability to wipe your GDPR data for those in the EU.
As @JapanStar49 said, mass edit, don't mass delete. IMO this is just as good as a greasemonkey script at mass editing your history to remove your reddit paper trail.
