I don’t want a mass delete because there is one community/topic that I don’t want to delete.

But going manually through my comments is hard because I have to scroll, move cursor to delete, hit delete, move the cursor to yes, hit yes, scroll to next comment, etc. It would be much better with one click per comment without any scrolling or moving the cursor. Is there such a tool to go through like that?

*Never found one, ended up using power delete suite.

    I used PowerDeleteSuite when I cleaned my Reddit account out. It’s a Javascript Applet that runs in your browser. It supports filters too so you can choose which subreddits you don’t want it to touch.

      I ran this a few times before nuking my account, it seemed to work pretty well

    I’d also suggest not deleting but replacing the content of the comment, if possible.

    Many people who used delete scripts came back to find many comments/posts were undeleted.

    Editing has a higher chance of success to overwrite the original content with gibberish

      Came across this in an old post the other day. Was confused until I realized I was on a post from 80 days ago.

      We’re mad they killed third-party apps by suddenly unilaterally raising API (App<->reddit communication) pricing in a way that disrespected the very people generating the best content for their platform.

      Now, they’re monetizing that same content in a big AI deal.

      Fk me? FK U!

      Mostly symbolic, unless you trust they don’t have backups they’ll hand over. The general public suffers as a result - might be just one search result for your query someday, and all you’ll see is:
