I’ve run PowerDelete, and if they restore my comments I cannot even log back in to edit/delete them again.
Although I’d argue that restoring content the user has deleted without their consent, may also be considered a privacy violation. Maybe I’d posted something by accident, that I realized later I didn’t wanna share? All I’m saying is, it’s a dangerous road for them to take, as it exposes them to legal actions IMO.
BTW my comments are fine, still showing up as deleted.
Which is unfortunately not what I originally meant to do, but the tool does a poor job at warning to uncheck the delete checkbox. So after spending 5 minutes coming up with an impactful/helpful edit message pointing to my Lemmy profile and inviting people to get in touch if they needed that content absolutely (since I have a backup), I eventually messed up and run the tool with chained edit + DELETE actions. Yeah, that hurt a lil bit.
I wish I kept mine.
