I’ll bite, as someone who’s been on the internets for almost 25 years. What is it?

EDIT: I’m not trying to be snide or antagonistic, Imm genuinely curious because with the influx of post-3PA Redditors, I’m seeing dumb memes and I feel distressed about finding myself relating to that whingy-old HAM/FreeBSD guy on IRC.

I didn’t know Elon wore dutch clogs

PSA: There is a tool called Shreddit which you can use to delete all your content from Reddit. I have shredded 1000 posts as part of migrating to Lemmy and you should too. in c/lemmyworld@lemmy.world

I’m curious if anyone else can replicate this, but I used redact.dev to delete my post/comment history. Then I requested for the data download using GDPR as my reasoning.

At this point, my comment history et al was gone. I was about to delete my account too, but I figured I’d wait for the download link in my messages.

That was three days ago, I’ve checked for the link every day and instead of it appearing. All my posts & comments have been restored in a piecemeal fashion.

1 comment after the first day, 5 comments the next day, and so on.

These were comments that redact.dev had edited, then deleted.

Still no data download link tho
