Hello Lemmy!

How do you recommend dealing with your old reddit account/ posts? Should I delete my old posts or just leave them there? Or maybe replace everything with the same text?

I heard that reddit might be restoring deleted posts. Would editing the post and then deleting it or just editing it be the better alternative to just deleting it?

I’ve seen the post that recommends doing all that BEFORE the API shutdown but now it’s after so I figured maybe something had changed about the tactics?

How did you go about it?

    Not sure. It got ever single one of mine and there were thousands.

    Keep in mind that if you edit any top of a post, some subreddits may have a bot that will reply to it if it contained anything that might trigger an automatic rule. For example, if you wanted to make your last message “Fuck /u/spez” on all your posts, the auto bot on some of the subs might disallow you from doing that. Ask me how i know 😏
