YSK if you overwrote your comments and posts that Reddit is restoring them to previous states

Why YSK: Because you may delete your account and find your comments and other content is restored and beyond your control.

DO NOT DELETE YOUR ACCOUNT YET.

Keep overwriting your comments over and over so they cannot just roll them back a single edit.

I prefer Power Delete Suite as it does not need authorization and just uses the website through your own browser. I will continue to overwrite my comments on repeat until the API changes.

I'm waiting until June 30 before I do this, I'm also finding it a bit difficult to delete 12 years worth of post history.

You can't go back that far, but the scripts that delete data should be able to delete everything that can reasonably be found using your profile.

Same. I’m still on the fence a little about deleting, it’s a fair amount of crap
