GDPR/CCPA requests:
I'm debating whether I'm petty enough to do this manually with 11 years of comments. I've gone through 4 months so far
Automate it with Power Delete Suite (one of the forks that respects Reddit's "5-second between edits" limit.)
I did four passes to ensure it was all REALLY overwritten since we don't have visibility into their retention. So far my overwritten posts are staying ovewritten.
- So long, and thanks for all the fish!
My plan was to edit all my comments with a tagline like "this user has moved to kbin.social and will not respond to any DMs or replies as of 7/1/2023". I didn't post content at all but I have a lot of comments on discussions about some niche things and wanted to leave them there for future Google searchers.
i believe this is the best option, well said
Also, if you're constantly mass-editing your posts, that's server load and bandwidth.
My choice of edit: "Spez doesn't get to profit from me anymore. Stop reverting my comments."
I believe I am noticing that you cannot edit or even see your own comments on a sub that's set to private, so you should expect some to pop back up as subs come back to being public again.
I'd be interested to see what a 13 yr old account with some nice karma is worth.
I cant log in to the accounts I deleted...
Eeh. I'm just going to keep deleting it instead.
For me it is the message more than anythin because otherise they'll just whine 'you'll be back.'
Posts like this are just black pilling.
The post is saying that if you delete your account, you lose any control if they restore your posts/comments. There is no "keep deleting" your account, cause that's not what they're potentially restoring.
appreciate the clarification.
Also this is interesting given rossman posting how reddit protests are failing.
You can tell the protests are working by how insistent they try to get us to believe it isn't.
I generally like the guy but some folks commenting on his videos about this situation are pretty wild, to put it mildly. Dear lord.
Everyone so eager to perpetuate the stereotype of 'reddit mods as pear-shaped scraggly mall ninja types that have a death grip on Banhammer and are internet addicts.'
Basically everyone looking for a group to mock that nobody will tell them they can't.
You deleted your account yes, but they are rolling back comment deletions which is what this post is about. If you delete your account, you'll no longer be able to get eyes on what Reddit has restored of yours and they can quietly restore your content without your knowledge.
It's a game of cat and mouse currently in regards to protecting what you've previously submitted to reddit.
edit: it may be things you delete/edit don't affect subs in private mode, so take the above as you will. I've noticed that my "restored" comments tend to be from subs that were likely in private mode when I ran PDS the first time.
Just checked and mine got restored too.
Yeah Power Delete Suite doesn't respect the timeout limits for edit requests so it misses things sometimes.
I didn't use the edit function though, since I've already read about it causing issues with the API limits. If there's a fork that fixes it I'd like to have a link though.
For me, the stuff I deleted is still gone, but it was only the most recent 1000 posts or something like that. On my profile, it looks like there's nothing, but if I do a search, it's bringing up older stuff.
@tvbusy bummer. I already nuked my accounts-after manually deleting every pic-when all this started, and I moved over here.
btw, no need for an app use https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite. Login to old.reddit.com and then use the bookmark
Honestly, I tried a few days ago. I researched it with all my tendies. I saw the PDSuite script on github with no step by step instructions and hit the limit of my competence. I then deleted my account. The github people are saints for posting such treasures, but they assume you know how to use a command line. I wish I had known there were other solutions. I have few regrets, however, because I spent almost all of my time as an unpaid data farmer on Noncredibledefense, so they have to sort through THAT to make money. They can't use my comments to train an AI, because then it will be a based chad tank obsessed degenerate who watches nothing but Perun and Lazerpig.
Power Delete Suite is not a command line tool, you save it as a bookmark on your browser. There's an image explaining what to do: visit the linked page and drag the big red button to your bookmarks
thanks for using Leebra!

Unfortunately the tools for mass editing and deletion will probably stop functioning on July 1.
