      While that’s the correct thing to do in my opinion, it would be a mistake to assume that Reddit didn’t store your original comments.

      By corrupting their dataset, you may actually be helping them recognize maliciously edited comments.

        it would be a mistake to assume that Reddit didn’t store your original comments.

        They were fairly specific about not doing that (I’d imagine largely because of GDPR).

        I deleted 10 years of “content” before I left and checked their policies. They apparently actually do properly delete from their servers.

            GDPR is no joke. Storing a handful of comments is not worth the penalty if they get caught.

            Note that I speak from experience as part of a company that needs to comply with the regulations. We do it because the risk of violation is 10000000% not worth it no matter how annoying and arduous it is to comply.

      Can’t post a genius idea like this one without posting the links of the tools

          This would be better if it fed the parent comment into ChatGPT prefixed with “create a plausible but factually incorrect aggressive response to <comment>”

          Feed the machine to the machine!
