    Someone on Hackernews coined to use AI to generate random text and replace existing comments with that, which I find really interesting. They won’t be able to restore those comments

        I do not doubt that they are archiving stuff on their end as well because it makes sense in case of a successful attack on their database that wipes stuff.

        However, for EU they have to comply with the forget me requests. And for other parts of the world you can just “keep” the account and do your thing to delete modify comments. What are reddits gonna do? take over % of user’s account and then restore, change password and revoke access? what kind of message would that send to other reddit users?
