So, unless I'm misunderstanding something here,I think Reddit is probably more like the whole of the internet and the received wisdom that nothing is ever permanently deleted and very likely exists somewhere for certain large private entities and governments to have access to.

“But the multi-party (read: multiple-backups) chat app used by backdoored, malware infested careless second-parties advertised itself as having ‘disappearing messages’! How did they retrieve what I said and read it back to me in court??”
Don't know what that user was referring to but I started scanning this article yesterday in Vice about how European law enforcement took over encrochat -an android modded full service privacy encrypted suite of hardware/software communications that became the go to for European drug cartels, hitmen, human traffickers.
What I find most interesting about this story is their attack vector. This was basically a side channel attack where the authorities didn't need to break the encryption at all.
What worries me most about privacy-oriented services like this are these side channel attacks. Same goes for anything I want to be secure, really, like encrypting backups before I send them over to a server I don't control.
Can you elaborate on this particular attack vector?
I always wondered (idk if this is related) what the point of encrypting things are, or putting passwords, etc, when you just have to use a backdoor, or read the data before encryption or after decryption. I once read that you can hack into Intel CPU's firmware (or something like that) and read all traffic that goes thru it. I remember the Intels had some kind of firmware/bios leak. Like, you can hide whatever u want, but as long as u dont encrypt/hide the rest of the device, what is the point.
Lots of things put on MySpace got 'lost', like entire forum posts and blog posts. Dunno if that counts as 'deleted'. Maybe there's a (secret) archive out there (please)?
Yes, and this is why I say "please don't delete your old posts and comments" to people who ask about shredding all their reddit posts and comments "because privacy". You'll be damaging conversations with other people, or conversations two other people had in response to your post. You'll be destroying information useful to other people. And it doesn't help your privacy much. The "deleted" info still will reside in reddit's servers, in archives, and in any govt agency that scrapes reddit regularly.
Don't post private or dangerous info. If you ask a technical question, don't later shred the post or your comments.
Multiaccount is a must at this point. Not only here, but also other places, like facebook marketplace if you need to sell or buy wihout using your personal account (if any)
I have lost count of the amount of accounts I have made here.
I make one new one every year, and swap between them for a while.
I’ve been on reddit for 9 years.
True... but every layer of obfuscation requires more effort to be "un-obfuscated". Simple things like multiple accounts can definitely provide plausible deniability.
Kind of like how you may use a simple password for a forum about pickup trucks but something much much more complex for your bank account.
> Kind of like how you may use a simple password for a forum about pickup trucks but something much much more complex for your bank account.
Funnily enough it's often the opposite, due to inane password rules by banks. Rules banks love like "8-16 characters, must include an uppercase letter, a lowercase letter, a number, and cannot include the characters '!-{/*;" substantially limit the possible passwords, decreasing security.
And every password is autogenerated by my password manager anyway, just like everyone's should be, so there doesn't need to be any difference.
That would be a strong risk. Especially if people are looking to you for info... Do you start signing your posts... But then we're right back where we started.
There are other "privacy" reasons to delete your content when leaving a service though. Sure, it all exists on pushshift AND googles Big Data cloud service (OP doesn't mention that) but not everyone is hiding from the NSA. Some just realize they have revealed to much about themselves over time and don't want to make it easy for people they know in real life to decloak them. If friends or coworkers figured out "who" I am here, deleting my content would indeed, be helpful. Neither my coworkers, nor friends are capable enough to learn how to work with Google big data datasets or pushshit.no to datamine all my comments or posts. As for the conversation breakage - too bad. The individuals personal privacy is greater than that of the annoyance of missing comments.
If you ask a technical question, you are asking for help. People do work to help you. Then you disrespect them, damage their work, and make it harder for others to find the same answers, by deleting your question. That's bad, selfish, disrespectful behavior.
No, see, you are the one being selfish. You want the world to comply with you and your desires with no regard for peoples individual needs.
Your idea of not posting personal stuff is pretty ignorant too. One might post "how do I fix this Active Directory issue" and that post might be the exact thing that gets them de-anonymized by coworkers because that is the problem describes their shared work environment. Regardless, I know your next suggestion "well don't post those questions! Or post them with a throwaway account!". So you see, again - you are being incredibly selfish, caring only about yourself and want every single other human being to go out of their way, conform to your desires, all because you are selfish and ignorant.
People have the right to post what they want, when they want, how they want and to also delete it if they want. Its called individual liberty.
Also, not all identity leakage comes from one single specific comment, but from hundreds of comments over time. I identified a couple of coworkers this way. None of their comments were so specifically personal that you could say " this is def them", but rather, little words here and there that made it easy to identify them if you looked at a collection of comments versus a single comment or thread.
Again, my rights to manage my own content trump your selfish desires to have the world cater to you.
> Again, my rights to manage my own content trump your selfish desires to have the world cater to you.
Posting things on the internet is equivalent to shouting into a large crowd. You can't take back what you said. You can't make everyone just "forget". Regardless of what rights you have or just think you have. It's your responsibility to realize that information is fundamentally not revocable or destructible like a physical object and to act accordingly or accept the consequences.
I never said otherwise. Infact, I even provided you guys with another place that reddits data is all stored at. What I did say, is that I also have the right to delete my info and not comply with this clowns demands that we not delete our comments or accounts because it ruins the value of his own comments. I already explained all this.
No, see, I am the one who volunteered to spend my time writing an answer to your question (if you asked a technical question, say). Then you took my answer, and those given by others, and damaged them by removing your question. You selfishly took our work and kept it to yourself, and prevented others from finding it in the future. We were generous, you were selfish.
People DO have the right to post and delete, and I have the right to tell them they're acting badly if they delete.
>the-bit-slinger
>
>People have the right to post what they want, when they want, how they want and to also delete it if they want. Its called individual liberty.
You don't seem to think that other people have the right to deanonymize you for that. Your simple reaction, from a simple stand point of 'I can do what I want. You're not the boss of me.' is the most naive stance I've seen on reddit. It's right up there with 'Don't tell me to be careful in a lion's den. I'll do what I want.' Go ahead, screw around and find out. No need to observe really any safety guidelines.
Of course people have that right. This is why we all have the right to counter Delano imitation by not making it easy for them by deleting our comments, posts and accounts. As I already explained, most people here aren't hiding from NSA. Most of our friends and aquiantemces are not going to load up a huge dataset on Big Query or pushshift, and perform a blond search on millions of accounts looking for the one that may have been their ex's, or coworkers account. Deleting comments and according accounts simply works when your adversary is a normal Joe blow you worked with, drank with, or dated.
You're right, sorry for getting so emotional, swearing and everything. I'm just sputtering with rage here, beside myself. Reddit is like a religion to me. I'd gladly give my life to defend the integrity of reddit comments.
Its the content that is the problem people want to get rid of most though and some want to do it while keeping their username around. Perhaps someone posts a couple things and decides later that it was a little too revealing. They have a right to delete the content and again, "too bad" regarding conversation breakage. My personal rights over information I contributed, trips your desire for me to leave my information around.
Sure, but the OP is literally talking about hiding from a state level actor, which the post is amusing.
Normal people don't need to really concern themselves with this stuff beyond acknowledging it so they don't do something truly dumb like post their SSN in reddit
I got banned from one of my local subs for something I posted and then immediately deleted thinking it might not be appropriate. But the biggest thing is that I got banned almost twelve hours after I deleted the post. The moderator said that just because I deleted it didn't mean that they still couldn't see it. Then they muted me from trying to explain why I deleted it
Pretty sure Pushshift is tied into the Reddit API allowing it to slurp up comments/posts as they come in, with seconds to minutes delay. So it's a constant thing. You'll occasionally see "deleted too quickly to be archived" when someone removed a comment before Pushshift could get to it.
Click on "submissions" and you'll see the monthly dumps. I should clarify that there are other ways of acquiring Reddit data that is more frequently than monthly, but this is probably the most popular source for researchers and data scientists.
What’s the best way to delete your reddit account?
I’ve been trying to research ways and keep coming across conflicting information.
Also is there a way to compile a list of subs I’m currently subscribed to with out manually writing them all down? I want to switch to a multi account approach and have each account subbed to similar interests. Like one account for gaming, one account for cars, one account for politics, etc. This seems to make the most sense to me but if there is a better way to do it I’m all ears.
I would like to say that this is not about privacy, you should know that you can't delete anything when you purposely posted something. That's being said I find the situation in HK very worrying. They still have some freedom of press but I except them to have the same right of Mainland within 5 years while keeping an illusion of the free world.
