Reddit is restoring deleted posts and comments (kbin.social)

A few days ago I deleted all of my posts and comments from reddit, but today they somehow reappeared.

I don't know if that's a bug or the admins themselves are restoring content, but I'm sure they'd have incentives to do so considering that they make money from your content, whether that is from generated clicks to the website or from selling those data to other companies to train AI models.

Are you 100% sure? Have you verified (with e.g. a screenshot including the permalink in the URL bar) that the comment/post was deleted previous, and it's showing up again?

Also is it again showing up in your profile, or is it missing from there?

I definitely am. No hidden posts and comments, all deleted. I did it I think three days ago. Now I deleted everything again, let's see what happens.

Instead of deleting the comments try editing them to some standard text, then go back and edit them all again to some slightly different boilerplate, etc. etc. I wonder if that might overwhelm their saved cache of your comments...
