I took part in the Reddit blackout a month ago, and accessed Reddit through Apollo. After the blackout I looked at Reddit a handful of times and then let my association with Reddit die with Apollo.
I haven’t been there since, but now I feel as though I should have deleted my account of 7 years, that way everything I ever contributed will be gone.
However, to accomplish this as you all know I should delete all my posts first and edit all comments. I was wondering what people used to do this. I want everything to read “Edit: moved to Lemmy”.
I’m sure others migrating here have the same question. Thanks.
Power Delete Suite will allow you to edit your posts with the message of your choosing and then delete them. Idk if it’ll let you edit them without deleting them. The edit feature is to create a new entry on the database in case reddit isn’t actually deleting comments from their database when they show as deleted. Although if they’re doing that then they probably keep a change log of the comments as well.
Yup it does, that’s how I used it. Did a cycle to edit with random words, afterwards checked if it worked & if it looked okay went ahead with a delete.
You know I thought that too. But I’ve seen some people talk about their GDPR data requests & they received the last edited version of their posts/comments, not the original. The data request doesn’t even contain anything like a change log of every post/comment. But I guess you could argue the data request is fulfilled with just the last version regardless of how many versions of the same post/comment actually exists.
