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.
