I deleted everything a couple of weeks ago. I verified that it was gone, both logged in and logged out on a different network.

I then deleted my account.

Then a few days ago, I followed up on a rumour that Reddit was restoring deleted content and found that at least some of my content was back, albeit with no username.

But, and here is the interesting part, using a search engine to search my username on Reddit took me to content I had deleted, even though the UI still showed [deleted] for the username. Of course, that could be some kind of search engine caching, not an invisible association with a supposedly deleted account.

It’s entirely possible that I’m doing something wrong or misinterpreting something, but maybe take deletion with a grain of salt without invoking one of the associated laws available in some jurisdictions.

Yes, and thanks!

Yeah, I’m not a fan of the form of capitalism that’s about selling what they want us to buy instead of what we want to buy, but it seems to be working for pretty much every company out there.

I guess we missed our window of opportunity with Netflix. We moved to the middle of nowhere with no internet or cell service 12 years ago. We’ve had Starlink for nearly 2 years and are just starting to run out of stuff available for free on our Roku. It’s been a couple of decades since I played with, um, other options, but I somehow doubt it’s become more difficult. :)
