  • Just checked mine. Apparently, some of my edited comments were removed, while others stayed up (with identical content).

    Subreddits where my edited comments (in new) were removed unconditionally:

    • /r/linguistics
    • /r/nottheonion
    • /r/memes (only commented in that subreddit for a short time frame, so whatever auto-removal there is might only apply to edits to old comments)
    • /r/eu4 (lots of removals, but 1 edited comment survived, no idea why, it’s neither the youngest nor oldest edited comment there)

    Partial removal subreddits:

    • /r/facepalm (some edited comments survived, at least one was reversed, didn’t notice a pattern, might be based on user reports or depend on which mod sees it)
    • /r/pettyrevenge (edits of comments younger than about a month were removed, edits of older comments survived)

    Also, looks like some subreddits that were private when I ran the edit script (like /r/MadeMeSmile) have since gone public, so I’ll have to re-run Power Delete Suite.



  • The difference is that rather than just having no expectation of privacy against recording (Reddit model), in federated space you are guaranteed an official subtitled hologram with sound is recorded by design and shipped to other town squares all over the world and shown. And you have no expectation that you’ll be able to convince those town squares to delete theirs once they have it and basically no chance to if your own town square is bulldozed or your town has gotten into a feud with theirs since you did your townsquare shouting.
