Mates, today without warning, the reddit royal navy attacked. I've been demoded by the admins.

A fellow mod informed me that about it as I was laying in bed. Reddit sent a message to the mod team and after 1 hour demoded me. I didn't even had time to see it, never-mind respond to it.
Looks like we rattled reddit enough to start shooting. There goes all that fancy talk about our protest not affecting them much.
Just FYI for now. It's late here so I'll see how we proceed tomorrow.
I wonder how legal that is, and if there's grounds for a class action
I have been wondering if I could use the GDPR like a bludgeon to get them to remove my shit for real, but it seems like a lot of trouble to go through when my comments were overall just random thoughts that popped into my head and nothing useful.
I have done this to companies that pissed me off, asked for all the information they have on you, great way to get free USB drivers.
Eh. You never know. People leave breadcrumbs of useful info in what they deem not useful. Further, things that you might not think twice about (ex: casually mentioning what car you drive, a coffee shop you went to that day) might reveal a lot of information (eg: your political leaning, rough geographic info etc). If you still have access to an old account, dig through your comments pretending to be a spy (or marketing agent) trying to learn as much about you as possible, with 0 prior knowledge - you might be surprised how much you learn.
