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.

Wow. turned out it’s something that reddit has been doing. Brining back deleted posts/comments. This is the shittiest move there is so far.
