Actually it was the opposite. The one mod team that got reinstated (well sorta) after setting nsfw actually didn’t allow true nsfw content. The bigger examples where subs got demodded did actually allow this

Yeah. So the general consensus here is that it wouldn't hold up in court, see for example https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/41129/Just-started-the-process-of-editing-all-of-my-Reddit#entry-comment-174724
Such a stance would be particularly ironic considering one of the reasons that reddit cited for cutting off Pushshift from the API is because they felt Pushshift wasn't honoring requests by reddit users to have their content deleted.
Actually, doubly ironic since Pushshift used to be a common way to get around the 1000 indexing limit on reddit and make sure you actually deleted everything.
This is exactly what I am doing. Saved all my comments and posts with a script, now slowly reposting my own original content into the fediverse.
There are a lot of guides on how to do this in the RedditMigration magazine on kbin.social
Someone who have done it manually are reporting undeletes, while I used the API (like a bot) but haven't had this issue. (I did overwrite first and then delete, however.)
Removing the name isn't enough. Some posts might contain stuff like "my real name is .. and i live in so-and-so city" or "my birthday is today too!" which would all count as PII. This would need to be scrubbed too.
For the "[deleted]" part - there's another way that happens. If you delete your reddit account w/o deleting the comment/post, then your text stays, but "[deleted]" is reported as the user who wrote it.
And why did it shut down and have to be replaced by r/196 ?
I'm on kbin too and I can see the alt text in the raw HTML:
<img src="https://kbin.social/media/cache/resolve/post_thumb/51/85/51859cfc559d9aedfa1bec8e33bbb76fd6c3c6d8b8eaf0ee854a68164df83780.jpg" alt="A machine displaying 108.6 onions per minute. The image is captioned "Tony Abbott's Mouth".">
However, my browser isn't showing me the alt text in the tooltip.
Sadly, no, due to corporate personhood, all other people seeing the log are reddit employees so reddit as a corporate person is basically talking to itself.
Now, if that server log were a public log...
The best one yet!!!!
This is the answer.
Again, not a surprise. Totally awful, outrageous, and immoral.
But sadly, par for the course. The mods should allow a vote to move to the fediverse, and leave the sub permanently private in that case.
Or if reddit won't give them the chance to vote, just do it anyways. Like the admins just do what they want, so turnabout is fair play, amirte?
Don't we already have one over at /m/Copy ?
