News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

MODERATORS
On a laptop you can sort your comments by "top" and manually delete. Those are the highest visibility anyway.
I believe only your most recent 1000 comments show up tied to your profile, so you cannot delete any but those. Deleting #1 doesn't bump #1001 into slot #1000
The lists are a bit different for controversial/top/hot, which is why the deletion tools all check all three.
Older comments will still exist and be search-indexable, editable, and deletable, but you'll have to find them... manually. I guess with 3P search engines? A nightmare.
Meaning Reddit is in violation of municipalities that have data deletion rules, but so far no one seems to care.
Older comments (1 year+), if you delete will simply re-appear. Then I tried editing old comments yesterday (using public domain filler text), but overnight my comments have been "restored". Newer stuff you can certainly do this to.
Someone said it's the caching or refreshing. Check again in a bit and let us know.
I checked it. They're still reset to the old data. My edits meant nothing.
You can also do this if you request "desktop site" on a mobile browser.
