i tried editing-then-deleting my comments early this morning but i noticed that they had already started saving the 'original version'. bastards

Please explain how you noticed that they are saving the original version.

i ran an auto edit-then-delete script. i had problems running it on 1+ pages at a time (via autopage loader plugins) so i did it in batches.
at first things went normal.
then, after a while, instead of seeing just the standard "i'm leaving reddit for voat.co because of the blatant favouritism etc" comment replace my previous, actual comments, additional text appeared beneath each deleted (replaced) comment. it said "Original text:" followed by (you guessed it) the original text. i could still delete this original text btw but it was a definite difference and implies that they are now keeping versions of all comments.

it's their new policy that came in on 1st jan. they own every version of every comment you've ever made. even if you delete them or your entire account. they can do with these comments as they please.

Shadowbanned. This happened to me multiple times over there. I would go to check the thread from work, and my comments would not show. They also apparently auto-shadowban by ip addresses, so if you use a VPN it probably will require a conversation with a mod to unban your new account. And yes, if you in any way disagree with a subs general attitude or post contradictory information, they will ignore and ban you from their little safe space.
Makes it hard to join and contribute if you do not know the game of mod kiss-ass you have to play over there. I finally just quit contributing.
