Reddit started with nothing but sock puppet accounts created by the devs, so I could definitely see them doing the same thing to show "activity".

He also said the mods - the ones who provide all the unpaid labor to moderate everything posted by unpaid content contributors - act like "landed gentry". It's almost like he's trying to piss everyone off.
My posts/comments shouldn't have been viewable in my profile if the sub was hidden or private. I didn't post much, thankfully, but the edit-then-delete script I used was hit or miss. When everything came back, many didn't contain the new edited text, but had the old actual post contents.
After my stuff came back the first time I manually edited them all to say [removed] then deleted them.
I had to do it a total of 4 times. It would say it was deleted on my end and my profile page would be empty, then in 1 or 2 days they would be back (most still saying [removed], at least). All the subs had been made public again, so there's no excuse for it.
The last time I did it, I spread it out over a week, occasionally deleting one then leaving it alone for a couple hours. The few that returned in their entirety I would edit with the [removed] text then wait again. They haven't shown back up yet but I'm going to keep checking. We'll see.
I also noticed the up/down ration changed every time I refreshed the page, even if it was just minutes apart. They may be having issues with so many post removals going on.
Anyway.. 4 attempts to delete my posts is 3 too many.
I had seen a few mentions of it, so I went to check mine. All of them were back, so I re-deleted them. Thankfully in my 6-7 years there I was not a prolific poster.
I'm going to continue to check them until June 30, then delete the account.
Wow that's a definite excited-doggo face :D What a good girl <3
I'm so glad you get to see her after so long. I hope you two don't have to be separated again!
