I’ve been on reddit spreading the good word of Lemmy and Kbin, and occasionally the text of one of my comments will be replaced with [Removed by Reddit]

Any idea what could be provoking this? It seems to happen way more often on the big subreddits. It seems automated to me, but sometimes deleting my comment and reposting a copy seems to bypass whatever is doing the deleting? But only sometimes. Idk.

    Not sure about removing comments, but I had manually unsubscribed from each subreddit I had a sub to; I keep checking every few days and Reddit keeps adding back subscriptions 2-4 subs, so I manually remove those again, and sure enough - a few days later a couple others reappear.

    Edit: just went back and checked, sure enough - across two old accounts, a few subscriptions re-added and a couple pages of comments were restored. Wiped it out again, lets see how long before they are reversed yet again.

      I had manually edited about 6 months of posts and comments to just point to join-lemmy.org and lemmy.world

      I checked earlier today and they were all restored to before the edit.

      I then deleted the account

        Maybe we should all delete 10 or so comments every day. The idea is to overwhelm them with hordes of small deletions.

        Reducing the count of inactive users, keeping subscriber counts at previous numbers, and back tracking the wave of accounts wiping out all their content
