What the fuck.
I used Power Delete Suite to edit and delete my comment history. My profile shows nothing, but I just did a Google search for my reddit /u/ and my comments are still showing in the threads.
Fuck you spez and fuck you reddit.
Your edits won't show up on Google for a long time (not sure how often it refreshes) but clicking through should show you your now edited/deleted comment
No, that's not what I'm saying; I'm well aware of Google caching. I'm saying the actual reddit comment threads themselves are still showing my comments while my user profile is empty.
How old are the comments? I'm been scrubbing my reddit comments from and older account now for about a month. Every week or two I've edited and then deleted every comment on my profile and then when I come back sometime later Reddit "finds" some more older comments. Rinse and repeat a few time and I've only gone back 6 years or so on a decade old account.
