Hi Friends, if I want to delete my reddit history, minus a few irreplaceable niche subs, do I have to do this before the API change? Do these tools require API access to work? I already managed to back up my comments and posts to a CSV using some kind of “Power Delete” or something like that. I’m just waiting to see if I actually need my reddit for anything before I launch the nukes and wipe the account to about 10% of what was on there.
Yes.
If the tool requires you to set up your own API key, then you should^1 be fine. They’re changing the free API ratelimit from 60 requests per user per API key to 100 requests per API key.
^1: Although it should be fine, don’t rely too much on Reddit keeping their promises. Better safe than sorry
You can get your own api key which is then limited to 100 querys or so I bet the tools will support this.
