Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.

    If you want to do that you might try doing it very slowly as minor edits. Like swap, add, or delete a couple of words in several posts per hour, and just let the script run for long periods, gradually degrading the usability of your comments over time.

    I don’t know if that would trigger whatever process Reddit is using to restore comments when users delete them, but there’s got to be some detection algorithm they are using that could be avoided while also, eventually, nuking your content.

      Thanks! Good suggestion, I will consider it.

      Sometimes if you get it to go too fast subs will ban you thinking you’ve used a bot so don’t let it go wayyy to fast also… what if you just change them all to say random stuff which changes periodically but all of the also say fuck u/spez because my understanding is that comments containing u/spez are being auto deleted by bots at this point… maybe that’s the most effective way to make that content actually disappear without repopulation
