I'm quite happy here now. Given up on reddit. The day Apollo's API key is deleted is the day I edit all of my comments and give up on the platform completely. It's strange I how feel no regret over saying that. It's just the way it's going to be.

Same here. I've been a fly on the wall seeing the development of mlem progressing super fast, and we (I'm tangentially involved) are going to be releasing a big update soon that improves the GUI tremendously. You can go over to !mlemapp@lemmy.ml (or https://lemmy.world/c/mlemapp@lemmy.ml) to see what we're up to and to get the link to join the beta through TestFlight.

Im looking forward to seeing it! Keep up the good work :)

Just a heads up, the day that happens is probably when the services that will edit or delete your comments also run into API limitations. Might be better to get ahead of that change.

My understanding is that most scripts like the power delete one that I used use your own token as they are a JavaScript run in your browser. I don't believe that those would be considered API calls, but I could be wrong.

There's one that is web based, and one that is API based. Each has pros and cons. The API one won't work come July.

I'd probably recommend doing it before that - the day Apollo loses it's API key is the same day that all the scripts that will edit then delete your comments also die.

Is there a way to edit all of your comments so they say something like-

"The previous comment has been deleted in response to Reddit execs immoral actions and I have moved to Lemmy which is the future of discourse. Come and have a look."
