It looks like people's comments are coming back because they didn't get deleted. From discussion in other threads and on HN, it looks like the comment deletion scripts can't delete comments from subreddits while they are privated.

If you tried deleting comments during the blackout and then some of those unprivated, you would expect to see those comments again.

There is a lot to be upset with Reddit about, but this doesn't seem to be one of them. (at least based on what I've seen)

Just because they've done some things wrong doesn't mean they have done everything that's wrong. I would rather base my criticism on companies (or people or ideas) on true facts.

That means sometimes there's an uncomfortable situation where an otherwise evil organization isn't always evil in every situation, and that is ok.

What's up with people posting screenshots of text here? Are these screenshots of things random no name redditors are saying on reddit? Are these pictures of posts that are getting tons of upvotes or significant in any sort of way?

I don't think those numbers are accurate at all, so you have any stats to back that up?

Thank you for linking the text. For anyone wondering, here is Ch. 2, Article 11 regarding portable battery replacement:

Article 11 Removability and replaceability of portable batteries

1. Portable batteries incorporated in appliances shall be readily removable and replaceable by the end-user or by independent operators during the lifetime of the appliance, if the batteries have a shorter lifetime than the appliance, or at the latest at the end of the lifetime of the appliance. A battery is readily replaceable where, after its removal from an appliance, it can be substituted by a similar battery, without affecting the functioning or the performance of that appliance.
2. The obligations set out in paragraph 1 shall not apply where (a) continuity of power supply is necessary and a permanent connection between the appliance and the portable battery is required for safety, performance, medical or data integrity reasons; or (b) the functioning of the battery is only possible when the battery is integrated into the structure of the appliance.
3. The Commission shall adopt guidance to facilitate harmonised application of the derogations set out in paragraph 2

Maybe some malicious compliance is needed? If the moderators keep active in their private communities, it would meet the requirements of code of conduct.

The issue isnt really the color, it's that all images and video are degraded in quality. That means android users are excluded from iphone group chats. This is a bug deal in America where iphones are incredibly popular.

I think it's fair to be excited that people are working on ways to bridge the divide. Especially when the technical aspects of the reverse engineering is pretty cool. Not to mention the proof of concept was originally made by a high school student!

Clicking the delete button on the website just makes your browser send API calls (albeit maybe a different, private API than other scripts may use)

What a great choice for your first watch, wear it with pride!

What do you mean by "copy" a subreddit? Do you mean you want to keep all of the posts ever submitted to the subreddit? What any comments?

Heck yeah! I love seeing watches be really used in the real world instead of just babied. As a certain angry guy on youtube would say, it's GODTIER

Would Coles paying their staff more prevent non employees from stealing?

If this was a way mods would actually protest, wouldn't it make sense to say who is saying it? They removed all attribution, all indication of votes, or any example of a subreddit actually doing it. Maybe I'm jaded from my many years on reddit, but I always get suspicious when I see a post like this that it could be a fake post or something.

With that said, if moderators actually did set their subs, like /r/aww to nsfw, that would be pretty funny.

I've always been suspicious of these Chinese homage brands, but admittedly I know next to nothing about them. How does your watch wear from day to day? Is it comfortable? Does it feel good and sturdy? How long have you had it?

I love the black bay gmt, definitely one of the ones I'm going to get one day. Tudor makes such great watches!

I've certainly seen and heard of Google modifying results or puting punishments on users because they broach topics that violate their terms of service.

I will absolutely agree that the rules of their ToS are heavily determined by the desires of advertisers and written laws.

But just because they may restrict the content based off of advertiser's wishes or because they are legally required to do so doesn't mean that Google is in bed with the government and willing to do anything to prop up the government's power so they can keep making money from them.

That's a really big and important jump you can't just hand wave away just because a company as large as Google works with the government on some things. That's just conspiracy theory and detracts from the very real, evidence based criticisms we can and should be focusing on.

It's the obvious followup to your statement "shoplifting is happening because of capitalism. Period." You were very clear and I think my question is very clear.

In order to make a claim like that you need two different evidences: one showing that they did remove content critical of the US and one showing that they removed it because they intended to use the removal to make more money
