Had an account on it for 12 years, and while I miss the old days, Iβm as glad I wiped my account there as I am I did the same with xhitter. ππ€π^(yeah I got two right hands u jelly?)^
You got no hands. Sure, most can't read what you "deleted" but if you think you actually deleted where it counts...I don't know what to tell you.
If youβre referring to using a services that overwrites your comment history, yes, I used one and checked to see if they were actually overwritten.
You're talking about what reddit shows. I'm talking about it's record database. History never gets deleted.
Let's just say reddit actually does delete its own database (even though we know better). The NSA doesn't delete *it's copy.
Holds out a little box to you.
Here's a dumdum kid!
you have access to the reddit database? because i don't see how you can actually be sure otherwise..
Doesn't delete it from Reddit's servers unfortunately. All you've done is prevented people who might have been interested in your answers to not discover them anymore. And maybe the odd occasional bot that slips through the cracks
