This is correct, most of those scripts can only delete 1000 comments from new/top/controversial.

The method to delete all your comments is as follows:

1. Do a GDPR request for a copy of your data using: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request. Wait until you get the zip file, then extract it somewhere.

2. Download the free utility shreddit from https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit and point it to the directory where you extracted your GDPR data using the --gdpr-export-dir flag.

It can be done with shreddit: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

It has a built-in option to point it to your extracted GDPR data, and will edit and/or delete all the comments that are listed in there.

Just configure it according to the instructions, and then let it run unattended for a while. It took about 15 hours to delete the 13000 comments on my 12 year old account.

Thanks for that. It seems to be working for me. I just set it to work on my 12 year old, 13000 comment history.

This is not what OP is asking for. PowerDeleteSuite is limited by what the Reddit API allows access to, so about 1000 comments from your profile. It doesn’t let you feed a list of comment URLs to it for deletion.

sync for reddit was

€1.5 for 10 years of joy

You can’t really blame this on the people. The centralized platforms offered something that for most people worked a lot better than what was already existing. In the beginning, those corporate platforms were actually quite good so it’s only natural that people flocked to it.

It’s only after those companies achieved a monopoly in their market, that they started pulling a bait-and-switch and began to enshittify their sites. Network effect makes it so that mass migration to something that’s technically better is unlikely. This bait-and-switch is where they stole it from the people.

Yeah, but Lorem Ipsum is instantly recognizable and filterable. With random text, you have to read a few sentences first before you realize it’s bullshit.

I would suggest to copy paste some paragraphs from https://randomtextgenerator.com/

I find it hilarious to see a +100 upvoted comment that when you try to read it, it’s as if you had a stroke, for example:

Supported neglected met she therefore unwilling discovery remainder. Way sentiments two indulgence uncommonly own. Diminution to frequently sentiments he connection continuing indulgence.

I sorta felt the same before I started to delete… but it felt weirdly cathartic and satisfying once it was done.

The only thing that bugs me now is that there are still comments that I can’t get to. My user profile shows zero comments, but googling my username + reddit, I can still find old posts, and I want them gone too.

More like network effect is a motherfucker.

At least Reddit lets you delete everything you post

Only the last 1000 comments or so. Earlier comments get dropped from your user profile and become virtually inaccessible, only findable with a google search.

Also, comments from closed subreddits are inaccessible to you, but still there (i.e. when the subreddit reopens, they will become available again).

The toxicity from FatPeopleHate, TheDonald and femaleDatingStategy ended up spilling over into all of the other communities over time, as they allowed those communities to flourish

Ironically, 3rd party apps like Sync allowed you to block entire subreddits from appearing on your r/all feed. I used that feature a lot to block out junk subreddits that I have zero interest in.

Absolutely. This place may be less active, but discussions have definitely been much more civil and constructive. So far, I haven’t had any toxic reactions to any of my comments, whereas on reddit no matter what you write or however careful you write it, there would always be someone taking offense at it or being awful in the comments.

I don’t mind discussion or disagreement, but on reddit this often means “bringing the other guy down” instead of making your own point.

As this started happening more and more throughout the years, I’ve often wondered if it was me, if I was so out of touch, but it turned out it was really the children (redditors) who were wrong.

They’ve already taken Voronezh as well, some 500km from Moscow and have been reported to be advancing through the Lipetsk province, 350km south of Moscow.

There’s no real “benefit” to Ukraine in this, is there?

Well, it appears that some of the baddies will be killing off each other, saving Ukraine the trouble.

Yeah, news about the war is one of the only reasons I still hold on to my reddit account. It may not appear in /r/all, but those subs contain a shitton of relevant content and active discussion about it.

They can stick their api up their ass, i want them to burn.

That’s my position too now. Until a week ago or so, I was holding out hope that reddit would change course and work something out with the app developers, now I hope reddit burns and turns into a complete shit heap.

Thanks to /u/Spez for opening his mouth, and to the admins for how they “handled” the protests.

In those messages you can see all the stages of grief, minus acceptance, play out over the course of 1h20m.

I don’t even know. They don’t tell you that, all I have is that inbox message and I don’t appear to be missing any comments. This is really some Kafkaesque bullshit…
