    I edited many of my comments up to old ones to “I moved to Lemmy. Save yourselves”. They’re also boosted by the previous upvotes that the old content got

    I scrubbed all my 11+ years worth of posts and comments across four accounts. Some of those posts included technical fixes that I worked out myself and my posts were THE ONLY search result for those specific problems.

    Is there any way to automatically edit all my Reddit comments to “fuck /u/spez” or something like that?

      Somebody pointed me to this fork of power delete suite: https://github.com/deestan/PowerDeleteSuite

      It takes a while longer to run because it waits in between each edit, but best I could tell it got each and every of my 2000+ comments. The original version got most of the edits eaten by rate limiting and only got 25% of my comments at best.

        I used this on 30k comments and then I sorted by best and manually edited all the highest voted and most informative ones manually. It took several runs over a few days too.

    This is sadly real since they undeleted all of mine 7 times. I think they’re praying you close the account, so they can toss the comments back up but have no say if it’s back up.

        Yup, but they’re hoping to sell all of it for AI training down the line and kill old Reddit where it’s easier to dodge ads.

        So they will likely say there’s no evidence who posted the original comment, and make you go through a maze of steps like requiring a driver’s license scan sent to them through email. Instagram tried this.

    The only account I bothered to purge all the comments prior to deleting was the 10 year old account that I used to post all of my OC articles. The rest I just deleted. I’m not sure it achieves anything but if anyone used reddit anything like I did, each of us just reduced the number of active accounts on the site by 5 or so.

    I know I’m kidding myself but I’d like to imagine total number of active accounts is one of the metrics being used for valuation during their IPO and they’re currently scrambling to explain why it just keeps dropping.

    I have hopped on just to see what /r/all looks like a few times, and the quality of content has taken a major nose dive, along with the average votes being significantly smaller for the top posts of the day.

    Is funny to me.
