I’d been using Reddit for 6 years; thousands of hours. All gone, in a quick(ish) running of a script. And once it’s gone, it’s gone. Link rot is gonna be so much bigger soon. And everything that represents a mark on the platform from me will be gone.

I remember spending time on basically every interest I’ve had on there. I remember the memes, the political discussions, the anticipations of football transfers, the stunning source-gathering work on the Ukraine war, the shitposts, the communities willing to help me on the most stupid of questions. The hours spent defending random pixels on a canvas modified by other communities with friends, the awestruck silence of the Snap both in movie form and Reddit form. The support for me as a person when I needed it the most and real life couldn’t, wouldn’t, didn’t give to me.

And in a few minutes, that’ll all be gone. It’s already going away as I type this. Almost feels like a microcosm of my own mortality. Maybe I’m being overly sentimental, but it hurts. Anyone else feel the same?

      1. Install Reddit Enhancement Suite on your browser (if you didn’t use it for some reason)
      2. Head to your profile comments page
      3. Open your browser debug console
      4. Paste this script:
      var $domNodeToIterateOver = $('.del-button .option .yes'),
          currentTime = 0,
          timeInterval = 1500;
      
      $domNodeToIterateOver.each(function() {
      
        var _this = $(this);
        currentTime = currentTime + timeInterval;
      
        setTimeout(function() {
          _this.click();
        }, currentTime);
      });
      
      1. Hit enter. Sigh in relief as your profile cleans itself comment by comment.

      You may need to run it again after each page is cleared.

          Weird, deleted 13 years of comments for me.

        Seems to work pretty well but it’s slow and tedious to work though page after page.

        Man that was a lot of free content I’ve given them though.

      Will it really? I didn’t realize. I’m guessing its because the api will no longer be free?

        JavaScript hacks should still work as they simulate clicking buttons on the UI.
