So long and thanks for all the fish, reddit.

Using the PowerDeleteSuite (while it still works) to edit all my comments from a 12 year old account.

P.S. If you want to mass edit and/or delete your comments, do it now (before 01 July when this tool which uses the reddit API stops working).

P.P.S. Yes, I blacked out the embarrassing amount of gold I gave to that dumpster fire of a site.

    I’m talking about them rolling back your deleted messages. That seems illegal for them to do and was wondering where you got the impression that they would do such a thing.

    If you do this for a living you probably know about the right to erasure. I don’t see any exception there that would be applicable to Reddit.

        The script didn’t delete all the comments for me.

        I had to run it a few times.

          for deletes people were having trouble with the regular script, some kind of rate limiting, there is one with a 5 sec delay floating around but i haven’t found it.

          I did not get rate limited with editing however they did manage to prevent edits of my best 400 or so posts.

      ahh i get what you are saying and 100% agree, i think you may be right, just as i dont think they can roll back my edits, its not why they have a license to my content and that actually does matter.
