I have been increasingly having to re-run my purge scripts across multiple accounts, despite not being on reddit for a few weeks now. The longer i wait between logging in and purging comments, the more appear.
And they do appear quasi-random, as if they page/comments get restored when another user pulls/visits an older page.
How does this even square with privacy regulations anyhow. If a user wants to delete their comments, forcibly restoring them against their will is, at best, unseemly.
I don’t think you can edit/view comments from privated communities, could it be that as subs are being forced back open those comments are now available to be edited.
Yes, that’s also happening. But many users have reported deleting or editing comments and finding those specific comments restored hours later.
