I feel that way about most deniers/conspiracy theorists/religious nuts etc but we’re always going to have them.

I wouldn’t be sad if these flat earthers went to find this supposed edge of the world and jumped off though. We have enough problems here on “God’s dinner plate flying through space.”

If you ran those scripts while subreddits were dark, the script can’t see those comments you made in those particular subs, (they’re hidden along with the sub) and can’t delete them. Then later when the sub comes back to public mode, your comments will appear as well. So comments you thought you wiped were simply hiding.

Just to add, also check the other sections on your comments when deleting (eg: hot/controversial) because sometimes those ones get missed by the scripts as well.

Not to say that’s the only thing going on… wouldn’t surprise me if they are bringing back some stuff considering their history of shenannigans.

According to some users on r/redditalternatives some people have already been shadowbanned for posting lemmy links.

I just want to point out that if you use one of those comment deleter apps (powersuite, shreddit etc) they cannot delete comments from private subs as they are hidden. So if you tried deleting your stuff while subs are marked private those comments will not be deleted and will reappear on your profile once the sub(s) go back to normal mode. (at the time I’m writing this, there’s still 3600 subs currently dark according to https://reddark.untone.uk/ so if you commented in any one of them marked private you’ll have to wait for them to come back to public mode to erase them.)

Also, when they do come back they won’t always show up normally in your profile. I’ve had to flip between hot/new/controversial a few times to see them all as they pop back up.
