List of hackernews folk are saying their changes were reversed https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=36354850-
I can confirm that at least my account that I nuked 6 months ago had the comments restored.

just checked and yup, mine have also been restored - on an account I nuked about 6 months ago. I’ve deleted the account so I can’t even remove them again.
Thank you reddit for forcing me off your platform and not having to deal with your shitty app anymore.
On Lemmy you’ll have /c/tech@instance1 and /c/tech@instance2 both serving the same thing but with clearly different names.
on reddit you have r/tech and r/technology, the analogue on lemmy would be /c/tech@instance1, /c/tech@instance2, ..., /c/technology@instance1, /c/technology@instance2, ... - the chance for fragmentation is much greater.
Eventually one will win out and the other will wither away. Or they’ll diverge enough to make subscribing to both worthwhile.
Agreed. This is exactly what I've been saying as well.
will do!
The person you were talking to started the conversation with a screenshot showing 5 subreddits for “Blue Protocol”, apparently a MMORPG. Similar examples exist for almost any subject big enough.
they were all different names, there could be only one BlueProtocol.
Given a bit of time, I think the understanding that “!foo@lemmy.ml” and “!foo@beehaw.org” are different names
I think this is exactly what OP is trying to point out - they are two different communities, when on reddit there would only be one - therefore the fragmentation.
things are better on reddit because only a single community can have one name vs on lemmy where every server can have the same community name - but the end result should be the same in both cases.
This adds up to a huge fragmentation across what was previously a single community.
this is how these things start - there will be fragmentation until one community takes over the majority of the users.
Ah, got it. Yes, you are right, that would be awesome.
Nice ass-saver! I'm sure all the stripes make it really fast as well!
There is none. Whatever you delete they will just restore if they so decide. I nuked my account 6 months ago, and now it's all back again.
