It seems to still exist, just tucked away.

my wayofthebern posts are gone?

Even when you look though your own post history?

[–]risistill me 2 insightful - 1 fun2 insightful - 0 fun3 insightful - 1 fun -  (4 children)

yes.

If I log into reddit as redditrisi (risi is "still me"), I see the OPs I've posted in WOTB, but no comments that I've posted in WOTB.'

On edit. No, I see nothing that I have posted in WOTB, neither the OPs nor the comments/replies. I see only what I posted in other subs.

As I said to someone else, that's just mean of Reddit.

Even if you are blocked from seeing anyone else's words, you should still be able to see your own.

Denying someone access to their own property should be illegal, not only mean.

You think you own the input you gave reddit? Reddit disagrees.

As "author" of my posts, I own the copyright in whatever I write that is original with me (not something I quoted, for example), yes. Reddit gets to use whatever I post. It's in the reddit user agreement. Same is true for every board on which I've ever posted.

Yes, even when I look through my own history it doesn’t show up. It’s almost as if it was banned? I thought it was just private for the last few days?

[–]penelopepnortneyBecome ungovernable[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (9 children)

I was trying to archive some old memorable posts from our sidebar, which I still havee access to, but it just archived the "private" page.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Yay, thanks. I can see it again.

[–][deleted] 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Perhaps it’s because I’m not approved (even though I’m a member of the sub). Can you make me an approved member of the original sub so I can see the sub? I assume being approved allows me to see my comments and post there while it’s still private? Thanks.

That’s so strange. On my mobile app I can’t see it. 🤷🏽‍♀️

[–]NetweaselContinuing the struggle 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (5 children)

it just archived the "private" page.

HAha.

There's a trick: the archiver has a Reddit account. Approve that specific account for viewing, and it should work.

The account name should be somewhere on the archived private page.

[–]penelopepnortneyBecome ungovernable[S] 2 insightful - 2 fun2 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 2 fun -  (4 children)

Excellent, that worked like a charm!

[–]NetweaselContinuing the struggle 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (3 children)

Now, you do realize that means that anybody can archive parts of this "private" subreddit, right?
As long as they have the URL of what part they want?

[–]penelopepnortneyBecome ungovernable[S] 3 insightful - 2 fun3 insightful - 1 fun4 insightful - 2 fun -  (2 children)

NOW you tell me.

[–]NetweaselContinuing the struggle 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (1 child)

I really don't see a problem with it.

For example: Now (https://archive.is/DajiU) and Yesterday (https://archive.is/sldTa)
and the day before (https://archive.is/YSkMT) for completeness.

[–]penelopepnortneyBecome ungovernable[S] 3 insightful - 1 fun3 insightful - 0 fun4 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

Neither do I really.

[–]NetweaselContinuing the struggle 1 insightful - 1 fun1 insightful - 0 fun2 insightful - 1 fun -  (0 children)

That's nuts, and mean.

Naughty Reddit designers!

I (somehow) was able to check, and yes, your stuff is still in existence. Once things unlock, it should still be there.

    While the community is set as private, it appears that rank-and-file members can't see their old comments and history.

    Damn. That's cold.

    You should still be able to see your own words, even if you are not allowed to see anyone else's.

      I'm guessing that IF r/WayoftheBern opens back up (we don't know how long this is actually gonna run) there's gonna be quite a bit of archiving going on.
