Currently deleting 7 years of my time on Reddit across 4 accounts, holding back just the gilded comments to edit as a final fuck you.
@pterodactyl Remember that any subs which are still dark, you cannot see/delete. So you’ll have to keep checking, at least until the API is turned off, to make sure you got everything.
@admiralteal you’re right! It’s already happened, I’ll check periodically to be safe
I’m sure someone else just posted they got permabanned for deleting all their old comments 😂 I need someone technologically minded to make a code to write over all my old posts, preferably with spez insults/pics of John Oliver.
This is the level of pettiness that I adore! It’s so annoying it came to this but Reddit is literally shooting itself in it’s head. The more salt we can put on this wound the better! Too bad I was more of a lurker than poster otherwise I’d want to do the same
@ThaijsClan I changed about 4500 comments to an edited one pointing users to lemmy and kbin, along with instructions on how to choose an instance. Hopefully it’ll direct at least a couple people here.
That’s great! It’d definitely help a lot of other people. I found out about Lemmy on my own after a ton of research. Having one of your comments to follow would’ve been so nice!
@SomeoneElse I used Power Delete Suite, it appears to have an option to overwrite instead of straight deleting though it sounds like some forums have got wind of it! https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite/
@pterodactyl I deleted my 12 year old account yesterday. Sad to leave, after so long, but an alternative will pop up - maybe it’ll be kbin, we’ll find out.
I see you exported everything first. Do you plan to repost them or are they more for your own sake?
@Quizmo This account has some useful posts for people from my country accessing healthcare, I’m going to copy them to a suitable wiki, everything else is going for good!
