This is rumored to be the case, but I haven’t seen any direct evidence. Even if it was proven to be true though, it would still be better to overwrite because a) a there’s still a good chance yours won’t be “undeleted” and b) this drastically increases the likelihood of a lawsuit.
PDS doesn’t include rate limit controls, so Reddit will start rate limiting you after just a few requests. This results in PDS telling you that it deleted content that it did not delete (partially because Reddit returns 200 error codes while ALSO including a message that your request was rejected).
I modified the PDS source to delay 2000ms between requests and ran it via ViolentMonkey in Firefox. It took a couple of days to run, but that did the trick.
TL;DR: Power Delete Suite is currently broken and it’s likely your content was never deleted in the first place.
I know a thing or two about programming, so I’ll try to do the same. However, I managed to do two runs with PDS which worked, and noticed that reddit deleted all my comments because they mentioned lemmy.
Reddit keeps undeleting that though, even if you’ve been using reddit from an EU ip all the time (which would mean you are protected by GDPR)
