With the coming Reddit API changes in a couple of days (1st of July) scripts that purge comment histories may or may not work anymore. Thus this might be the last chance to purge your history. Not entirely sure but I've been planning to do this anyway.
I'm currently running this fork of Power Delete Suite: https://github.com/pkolyvas/PowerDeleteSuite
So far it seems to work fine. However it takes a long time (several hours depending on your history size) due to rate limits.
If you want to do so too:
- Go to the github page.
- Click the button at the bottom.
- Drag the button on the new page into your bookmark bar (not the address bar). On Brave you can enable or disable the bookmark bar in the appearance section of the settings.
- Go to your Reddit user profile (AFAIK you have to be logged in) and click the script button in your bookmark bar.
- If you want to edit your comments before deleting them (allegedly "deleting" only hides them) check the edit option. The dev recommends not to edit them to anything that could trigger auto-mods.
- Select filters if you want to exclude subreddits, etc.
- Click process and be prepared to wait. AFAIK you have to keep the browser window open.
Guarantee you that even if you 'delete' those posts like with facebook and other big tech sites they likely backup the edited or deleted version on separate servers for surveillance purposes, don't even know why you'd care to be honest lol.
I want to plant some "there are two genders" edits deep in some comment weeds from years ago, but I don't know if they have moderation filters on edits or lock you out if you edit too many to be the same or whatever.
There are definitely mod filters on edits. After running the script I had a few auto-mod messages for editing comments (before deleting them): a bunch of "welcome to the community, here are the janny rules" messages and automatic removals because my comment didn't fit their required comment pattern.
I edited thousands of comments to the same thing before deleting them using the script. Didn't get locked out.
Write a couple of comments about gassing jews. You will be instantly banned = profit
Already doesn't work. A few people have complained about not being able to delete old content; one guy did it on video, and had it all reinstate itself.
Yea, I read about people complaining about that.
However, it's been a week now and my reddit profile is still empty.
The waffle house has found its new host.
