after reading all the comments on this post
I just request someone to just nuke the data servers of reddit
Is it legal for a company to alter what you say and post it using your name?
It shouldn’t be
Not in California, IDK about elsewhere
edit all your comments, dont delete.
They get edited back. I’ve been playing this game for 10 days. I edit once or twice, then delete a few days later, and there’s still comments popping back.
the delete event is the trigger thier automation uses, they can’t trigger on the edit event as there are too many legit uses of it. However undeleting by default for a time period is easier and will result in less tickets.
don’t delete, just edit.

They definitely do, I’ve experienced it firsthand: I mass edited all my comments to “[deleted]” and many of them got edited back within 2-3 days. There are some reasonable explanations about buggy caches, but that’s a really convenient bug for Reddit right now.
ask yourself, hard hard is it to regex the word “deleted”
there is a reason i dumped paragraphs.
deleted by creator
API limits, need to use a tool that waits 5s between each call otherwise it gets limited and doesn’t actually edit/delete everything!
The second time I tried, I used a forked PDS that had a 5s timeout modification, edit only, no deletes. It edited my comments, but only up to two months. The rest don’t even show on my own profile, but I still find 10 and 11 months old comments if I search online.
How do you find those unedited comments? Anyway, I ran it overnight and it said to have processed all 2k+ comments and I did check many pages (not all) including the last page which had almost 2y old comments, and all of them were edited. I had to make a second pass only because some subs were closed for the blackout and those comments couldn’t be touched
Google searching. How do you see your oldest comments in your own profile? Mine just disappear after the 2 month mark or so. There is nothing. But if I look under saved posts for example, there are old comments still hanging there. I specified to edit everything- gilded, saved, everything
old.reddit allows you to go further back than that. IIRC there’s a setting about how many links to show, that by default is 25 but you can also choose 100. After that, you go to your comments and manually go back and that should allow you to view much older comments.
So you just search “your username + reddit”? I’d like to check if any comments were left untouched!
I cannot decide on an adequate message to overwrite my comments with…
How’s this?
I’m leaving reddit for good, because of how the admins and owners are mistreating third party app developers, mods, and users. I’ve moved to the Fediverse, which is a much nicer place, made by users and for users. I advise any who read this to do the same.
Here are a few links to get started:
Hi effort is manually edit every comment into Ken M level misinformation
Yeah, I did some of that. But there is a lot missing I know it’s still out there. I got about 80k comment karma :/
What’s best way to scrub my Reddit account before I delete?
I just learned if you got under 1k comments, power delete suite will do it for you. If you got more, good luck.
Well guess I am out of luck. I am over 100k so guess I am out of luck. Thanks.
You can still try it, some people say it worked for them. If you look at the other comments here you’ll find an updated powerdeletesuite fork to do so if you wish
Get yourself banned. Seems to work.
That doesn’t remove your content, it just makes your profile on new reddit blank. You can still see your profile on old reddit if you’re logged in (for now).
