Hi, I think I’m finally done with Reddit. I haven’t log in for many days, and the 2 minutes I’ve spent on the web site I just thought “Eh, this site really sucks, everything is slow, isn’t loading on my slow connecting, and is an overall pain”.
If you know who am I you know I have no shortage of Throwaway accounts if I need to check something, but I wanted to delete my main account, the one with over 200K karma and still 45 coins (I didn’t pay for them, someone gave me gold a while ago).
I don’t wanna spend an eternity manually removing everything, so I wonder if there is a tool that does it for me quickly, before I delete the account.
I used https://github.com/ksurl/Shreddit
Here’s a quick bash script in case you have multiple accounts and want to run the delete on a schedule. Run it under a dedicated service account or modify the script to use venv or pipenv.
#!/usr/bin/env bash set -euo pipefail cd ~ || exit $? [[ "$PATH" =~ (^|:)'~/.local/bin'(:|$) ]] || export PATH="~/.local/bin:$PATH" command -v shreddit > /dev/null || python3 -m pip install --user --upgrade pip Shreddit@git+https://github.com/ksurl/Shreddit.git while read -r acct; do echo shreddit -u "$acct" shreddit -u "$acct" done < <( sed -E '/^\[/!d; s/\[|\]//g' praw.ini )
