    Even more ironically I’m using this offline backup to dig out my comments id’s so I can delete them surgically in the live database.

    Turned out that I had more than 30k comments on reddit. Just to give an idea of how much of reddit content can remain if you delete using the API in a “normal” way. I managed to only delete like 900 of them in the “normal” way.

    If I had more time I would have made a double entry database where a user could return a list of his comments id’s based on his username. That would have purged the database way more efficiently.

      Since I will likely never come this close to an opportunity to brag about it again, as of last night I had 53,532 Reddit comments in my own offline archive of “things I’ve commented on.” I’ve been using a script to copy them for future reference, after this long on Reddit I find myself semi-frequently thinking “haven’t I had this argument before?” And then on checking finding that yes I did, four years ago. Simplifies things greatly to be able to copy and paste chunks of my old arguments into the new thread.
