Slightly unrelated question, but is there an easy way to delete all my Reddit posts and comments? I used the Nuke add-on in the past, but it doesn't work anymore.

I wanna delete my Reddit account, but I'd prefer to erase my history before doing that.

back when I made my Lemmy account I used a tool called redact to masse edit my Reddit comments into gibberish and then after a few days of making sure it got them all, I deleted them all and then my account.

With their API changes I'm not sure.

This is what I used and was recommended during the great purge.

j0be's version of Power Delete Suite was already broken before the APIcalypse, as Reddit imposed a limit of 5s between edits. Pkolyvas' version will probably work better, if PDS still works at all.

Dang I wish I knew that at the time. I had to run it many times before I was satisfied that my history was properly edited before deleting everything

I used Redact. It seemed to work.
