Just curious, did you note if you had any edited posts/comments prior to the data export? What did you receive in the export for those?

And if you had edited, then later deleted, posts/comments what ended up being exported?

gerowen OP ,

I made no changes to any of my posts or comments, though I haven't been particularly active on Reddit. It has been un-usable for a long time for me because it seemed like every time I tried to make an original, thoughtful post, it would get auto-deleted by a bot because I didn't include the correct "flair" or some other non-sensical bull, yet others could just spam those same subreddits with memes and nonsense without issue. I would comment occasionally, but that's about it.

It might be a good idea though to go through and check my comments to see if anything looks out of sorts or was edited without my permission.

I did a data request and then it took a while to receive my data, so I used power delete suite delete in case the API stopped working. Rewrote and deleted my comments.

In my file there was comments overwritten with the writing I had put in before it got deleted. It was gone but present in the data export. So seems it was at that time the data back up was done they were not deleted, but what was rewritten was present.

There were also comments and submissions that didn't get deleted by power delete suite even though I can't see them in my profile. So those I have to go through manually using the csv file to delete them. Trying to get shreddit working to automate that process.
