Hey y’all, want to give a heads up that I used redact a few days ago to delete all my comments and found the entire history restored today. I’ve seen a few useful tips that if you’re petty enough, start editing and deleting your comments manually so it doesn’t get noticed as quickly. I started by viewing my top comments and edited them to say “As a language AI model, I’m beginning to edit all my comments in protest of reddit”
I’m just going to do a little at a time and will check back in after about 12 hours or so to make sure it’s not restored then keep going
Obligatory fuck spez
ETA: Thank you @deweydecibel for the explanation! If y’all are using redact, try making sure you’re using the one with a 5 second delay
Edit 2: @EnigmaNL also noted the script didn’t work for comments in subs that were locked down. I just finished going through mine and can confirm there weren’t too many left, so I think that’s what the issue was!
Yeah, idk if my account was flagged for using a program to mass delete everything, though. That’s why I wanted to make sure to bring awareness to anyone using a similar program. It might be more reliable to edit or delete manually
