    If one was to delete the top 1000 comments, then would the older ones be visible?

    I had separate accounts for pretty much every community, so they didn’t have too many comments.

      No, the list will appear empty.

      At least, until reddit restores some of the comments some time later. That’s also been happening a few times over.

      I wouldn’t hurry to delete your account, so that you can supervise this.

      Edit: if your accounts have fewer than 1000 comments each then you’d probably see everything on your profile page.

        My accounts only had a couple of hundred posts each, so that didn’t turn out to be an issue. I haven’t yet deleted them, but the edited comments haven’t been restored after a week or so.

          That’s good then. I’ve had comments popping up in the different lists over time. I either ran PDS again or just manually edited them.

          I haven’t seen anything restored from the GDPR files I used with shreddit, but then I’ve only grabbed a handful out of something like 76,000 comments over 12 years.

      Yes. For instance using a tool like Redact you can mass delete ALL requests as it simply pulls a new 1000 comments since it deleted the last 1000.

        That’s not what I’ve seen. You run PDS, it deletes each 1,000 comment list, then the list appears empty.

          Okay? I don’t know what PDS is… so I definitely don’t run it. I have absolutely deleted more than 1000 items in one go. The app can run delete the first 1k then pull the next 1k automatically in the same singular button press. If you’re app isn’t doing it, then I would presume it’s poorly coded. Here’s a screenshot example of me deleting >2000 items in one go.

            PDS is PowerDeleteSuite, which is the one most people seem to know about.

            There are 4 lists on your profile, New, Top, Hot and Controversial. Each of these has a 1,000 comment limit, so while there may be some overlap you can access well over 1,000 comments from your profile.

            For me, the easy ones to find that it missed were my replies underneath some of my older top comments. The top comment was deleted, but replies underneath with <50 karma remained. These were too old for New, not popular enough for Hot or Top and not Controversial, so they didn’t appear in the lists.

              And Redact is not PDS… It missed no items. I’m still completely unsure why you’re bringing up something that nobody was talking about nor has any of the deficiencies that you mentioned.

                Redact uses the same method, it only gets the comments from your profile. It has the same deficiency.

                The only way to get everything is to use GDPR files, or the Pushshift archive of all of reddit, with links to every comment. At least, that’s the case if you have a significant number of comments over many years, if your account isn’t as big it can be possible that everything will be on the profile.

                Edit: the insidious thing about it all is that you can’t easily find the comments it misses, not without the links. Reddit lulls you into a false sense of security by showing you a blank profile, letting you think you’ve got everything.

                  And yet… I provided evidence that it worked just fine. And even explained how it could be done.

                    And I explained how that doesn’t mean you’ve got everything. You’re still just getting the comments from your profile, not every comment you’ve ever made.

                    You’re being hostile now, when all I’m doing is explaining it to you.
