Before Reddit shutdown the apis I used a tool that deleted my entire history. I think this move on Reddit's part is just the beginning, very similar to Twitter. Honestly any platform that gets to large tends to forget itself.
I'm currently in the process of doing that... sort of.
I'm using https://redact.dev/ which gives the option of editing all of the comments to replace it with random text. I think I'm not going to delete my comments and instead leave them as random just to fuck up any future AI data mining. Scorched Earth :P
It's over a decade of comments and posts, across three different accounts so the process is taking all day. Kinda weird seeing comments from 10 years ago stream by as they're being randomized.
I ran this in my account the other day in preview but didn’t pull the trigger since I was waiting for Apollo to die. Now when redact asks me to log into my Reddit account, I do and give it permission, and all it does is open Reddit chat. I can’t figure out what’s different or why it won’t do anything else. Using the same iMac.
