Ah, unfortunately reading through libreddit it seems like libreddit is also reliant on the API. so both will break on the same day.

Google cache does expire so it will forget eventually. The problem is when you go to the original on reddit, we're seeing that some of the comments still have their text intact, but with a [deleted] username now.

I do. I see the same thing as OP. I think what happened is this was a post from a sub that was private when OP deleted the account, but went public after. Or maybe a really old one that was somehow past the visibility limit. But yeah the comment is still there - and now uneditable and undeletable.

Though depending on the specific content in the post may be a violation of CCPA/GDPR to do so. Probably others are covered as well, even if not known to reddit, for example folks in Virginia, USA have the VCDPA and folks in Colorado, USA hav the CPA, Brazil has the LGPD, and Canada has PIPEDA.

Never used VPN, had a couple of active throwaways and those were not caught either. Oddly the message is "all your accounts" as in plural but it was only the one account.

Smart move. Wish I had done this - but back then I didn't know how to automatically save a local copy of my content before deleting.

What's happening is that the bigger communities that are just about a topic but not really a tribe or wealth of useful data (think r/funny or r/pics) stick around.

reddit is valuable because it has so many smaller niche communities dedicate to specific tribes. But these are now leaving or shutting down, see r/blind and r/EvilGenius and r/Minecraft ( https://kbin.social/m/[email protected]/t/67146/r-blind-community-migrates-to-Lemmy https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/92087/r-EvilGenius-was-a-labour-of-love-and-u-Spez-shat-in https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/104772/Minecraft-is-leaving-Reddit )

And individual users are deleting or editing their comments before they close their user accounts. So a lot of the good info that used to be on reddit - that made reddit valuable - is leaving.

So far I haven't seen any photo evidence of this happening.

Mostly it seems to be a combo of the 1000 index limit and not seeing posts in private subs which later resurface when they go public or restricted.

Keep these in mind however, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than

Recommend either getting your GDPR/CCPA archive from reddit first, or else following this guide, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the

Agreed it is BS

A lot of folks get hit by this, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than

They think they deleted it all, but stuff got missed.

A lot of folks also seem to be using PDS. Remember that PDS is also affected by this limitation.

Sadly, it wasn't the later. I never mentioned spez and didn't even know what the CEO's name or username was until the blackouts (i.e. after i got permabanned).
