Slightly unrelated question, but is there an easy way to delete all my Reddit posts and comments? I used the Nuke add-on in the past, but it doesn't work anymore.
I wanna delete my Reddit account, but I'd prefer to erase my history before doing that.
back when I made my Lemmy account I used a tool called redact to masse edit my Reddit comments into gibberish and then after a few days of making sure it got them all, I deleted them all and then my account.
With their API changes I'm not sure.
This is what I used and was recommended during the great purge.
https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
j0be's version of Power Delete Suite was already broken before the APIcalypse, as Reddit imposed a limit of 5s between edits. Pkolyvas' version will probably work better, if PDS still works at all.
Dang I wish I knew that at the time. I had to run it many times before I was satisfied that my history was properly edited before deleting everything
This userscript worked for me (in the last 24hrs): https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/23605-reddit-history-sanitizer
I used Redact. It seemed to work.
