I made a thing, now it's your thing.

I've been running an iteration of this for over a week. Reddit regularly restores comments and posts from my account even 10 days later. This keeps them deleted.

Do this work if I only want to edit my comments and posts but not delete them? I was thinking about something like:

[ this content has been hijacked by u/spez ]

Please don't, boycotting by not logging in is one thing, but destroying information that might be useful to some random person googling in the future is another thing

Maybe it was a "spur of the moment" thing, your argument gives me pause, but the damage is done. I used the project mainly to learn python/docker, both of which I'm new at, and it was fun making it in the process :)

It started out as a run-once, that'll be it thing, but then I noticed Reddit restoring my comments, so I ran it again, the restoring continued. Now its a matter of principal. If I don't want my cat pictures and internet arguments on Reddit, then they will damn well not be on Reddit!
