    That script does nothing. They can reverse it. A guy here was talking about that. He had been a very heavy user in some tech support sub there. He used one of those accounts scrubbers and then went back to look a few weeks later and everything had been restored.

    If I remember right he said he was one of the more well-known users on that subreddit? So he was probably somebody they looked at as being ‘valuble’

      The script works fine. What actually happened was that some subreddits were in blackout mode and therefore the comments were invisible but not yet deleted. When they returned the comments became visible again. Anything the script missed was because of the comments temporarily not being visible from the API. Simply running the script again was all that was needed once subreddits returned. My comments have stayed deleted after that.

      I wrote with reddit support asking them to not restore my content and asking them to confirm this on writing. If I ever find any of my content I’ll definetelly report them to my local data authorities and I told them I’d do so when writing with them
