    We don’t know how deletions work on the back end of Reddit. It might just be marked deleted but exist on the servers. And I assume that’s the case. Especially for things >24 hours

      Still, I just edited my comment from like 2 years ago, under my banned account, under a deleted post…

      I got 7 years worth of Reddit comments I can edit! I could make my own custom fragmented Base64 filesystem with my old comments LOL!

          I just tried editing another old comment to drop in the entire Bee Movie script.

          Reddit gave me an error that said it must be under 10,000 characters. Welp, now we know the limits!

            We’re pushing the system on what is possible

            I believe it was in gurren lagan where they said “reject common sense to make the impossible possible”

              Anything is possible, especially with teamwork…

              Whether I fully master this sort of process first or not is beside the point. It really takes teamwork.

              I’m just proving the concept to start with…

          It’s still just a fresh idea that’s only been bouncing around in my head for the past few days.

          Had to get confirmation others can see it first before considering how to proceed.

          I’m not exactly in any rush, but it’s a proof of concept…

        Back when i left reddit after the 3pa fiasco I used a browser side script to sift through all my comments and posts, edit them to a fuck spez message, and then delete. Made the whole process very convenient.

        It is called power delete suite
