Used a script to overwrite old comments to finalize my switch to Lemmy, and got this message from one of the subreddit that i commented.

Yes my intention is to annoy and create awareness. After i delete my account, Reddit is not going to get to keep my pearls of wisdom, or shenanigans. I hope more people edit their old comments to something like [moved to Lemmy].

      Yeah I used PowerDeleteSuite to “edit” and “delete” all my history, and it sure looked like it worked. When I go to my user profile and look under posts and comments nothing is there, but I am getting replies on comments from years ago (which is already stupid on its own) and there’s my comment, completely unedited and public🙃

      If you’re in the EU you can send a GDPR data takedown request, then if they fail to honor it you may be able to get a kickback from any fines they get slapped with
