You'll want to destructively edit them, because apparently Reddit has recently started removing soft delete flags on some content, and it's not clear to people why besides possibly this blackout.
It's not clear if Reddit has post history to rollback destructive edits.
- MiguelX413 3y agoThey must so people can't just edit away ban-worthy content
- cge 3y agoA substantial portion of my destructive edits (that were followed by deletion) appear to have now been rolled back, so it appears they do have the ability. These were recently deleted, however; there may be a time limit based on edit time.
- andrewmcwatters 3y agoThanks for sharing this.
- cactusplant7374 3y agoWhy were they rolled back? Your content was deemed important?
- hgsgm 3y agoSpez doesn't want comments that say "this comment was removed"; it hurts the IPO.
- brewdad 3y agoI opted for "This space intentionally left blank".
- leesalminen 3y agoI went with “Apollo didn’t kill itself”
- BatmanAoD 3y agoOkay, that's quite funny. Thank you.
- paulmd 3y agosame article says they're rolling back destructive edits
- almost_usual 3y agoAnything stopping you from editing them again?
- paulmd 3y agoif you've deleted the account, you no longer have a "handle" onto the comment. Depending on how they've done the restore, you may not have a handle on the comment even if you haven't deleted the account. Also, nothing stopping them from doing any of it again.
- ahahahahah 3y agoThis is false. Feel free to link to your source which will inevitably turn out to be someone who doesn't understand that the problem was actually in their deletion script or their understanding of it.
