Shreddit and PowerDeleteSuite were last updated years ago. I’ve used redact.dev which can also edit your comments to random strings before deleting them as “deleting” on Reddit doesn’t delete anything but only hides it from public view.

I’m now also doing a manual pass by using a Google search for “mbirth” (incl. quotes!) followed by site:reddit.com and a date filter for everything of like 10 years ago and then manually delete all the comments the deletion tools didn’t catch via the API.

I've heard Power Delete Suite suggested as a potentially superior alternative, am planning to try it out in a few days time!

Haha this is funny. It seems even overwriting the posts as well?

btw

while true; do <shreddit command> ;done

will do it for the 25 post limit

Here is an updated shreddit written in rust. https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit. I used it yesterday and it worked. The only issue is it seems to only process 25 entries at time so you need to run the code in a loop. In bash you can do something like: while :;do ./shreddit args;done and kill it once it completes.

shreddit is a good choice for this job. There are others (can't recall the names off the top of my head). If you are new to this sort of thing, be advised that you will be granting access to your account when you use these apps so remember to remove the access token when you are done. Of course, if you plan on deleting the account there is less of a concern here.

This is the first time I've tried scripts/programs like this. Am I doing this right? I still have my main account left. Just one more to go.

I love the name
