Google executives acknowledged this month they need to do a better job surfacing user-generated content after the recent Reddit blackouts.

    I used the power delete suite to leave a nice explanation of Lemmy and ways how to migrate as well as a last happy fuck u/Spez on my main account.

    My NSFW account has an even more elegant solution: Each and every post or link was edited to a highlight reel of the 2 girls 1 cup video, with no warning whatsoever.

    Both accounts have been abandoned in this state, good luck restoring the OG content.

      Keep checking, see what happens

      Although I suspect edits are less likely to be restored than edits+deletions, or even edits alone.

      Certainly, I’ve had a couple comments that I manually edited that have stayed, while a few others have popped back up.

      But so far, comments that I have edited and deleted from the source URL have stayed down. It’s only the edits from the profile (using PowerDeleteSuite) where some have come back. Granted, most were old, now I’m getting info the recent ones they’ve been lingering on.

      I still have a good 28,000 out of 76,000 lines to get through though from my original CSV file. I will make sure they’re all processed before 1 July, and if reddit restores any of them I’ll have logs to show their violation.
