Reddit started doing what they always wanted to do, sell user content to AI.

Slightly unrelated question, but is there an easy way to delete all my Reddit posts and comments? I used the Nuke add-on in the past, but it doesn't work anymore.

I wanna delete my Reddit account, but I'd prefer to erase my history before doing that.

back when I made my Lemmy account I used a tool called redact to masse edit my Reddit comments into gibberish and then after a few days of making sure it got them all, I deleted them all and then my account.

With their API changes I'm not sure.

This is what I used and was recommended during the great purge.

https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

j0be's version of Power Delete Suite was already broken before the APIcalypse, as Reddit imposed a limit of 5s between edits. Pkolyvas' version will probably work better, if PDS still works at all.

Dang I wish I knew that at the time. I had to run it many times before I was satisfied that my history was properly edited before deleting everything
