Reddit has deleted all your conversations until 2023

Reddit is going through turbulent times. After the protests of several communities in connection with changes in the API of the service, the social network is still restless. The latest news came as a surprise and that’s what the company decided to delete all direct messages that were sent or received by their users before 2023.

The company announced on June 22 this year that they will be making some changes to their service. Because of this, all messages sent or received before January 1, 2023 will not appear on Reddit. In their statement, they state that this is due to the transition to the infrastructure of the social network. This change went into effect on June 30, 2023 and early adopters have already logged out to confirm the situation.

Of course, while the press release says that “messages sent on or after January 1, 2023” will be carried over, Reddit did not warn that those before this date will be removed. On top of that, we have the fact that this news was included ten paragraphs below other unrelated changes, so many users didn’t even know about it.

While it’s still unclear if Reddit will eventually include the ability to view older posts, some have already found a temporary solution. This is the case of some service administrators who have left instructions so that users can recover some of their lost messages while migrating to a new infrastructure.
