I want to get to either rewrite all my old reddit comments or delete them (prefer to rewrite them all to an insulting message to reddit) before all third party apps are effectively removed on 01 July.
I vaguely remember there was a way to do this.
Does anybody know?
You must log in or # to comment.
See this before deleting https://youtu.be/mfZKkUg8jgM
Reddit is restoring deleted posts (and probably comments)Holy fucking shit. I just checked. All my deleted comments and posts are back.
I’m based in Germany and I’m pretty sure this is a GDPR violation.
Edit: Not all is back but some older comments are. I previously checked and my account was definitely empty before.
I second your sentiment. Yikes!
if the thread is locked/archived you might not be able to delete/edit.
That’s not it. The account was 100% empty and the stuff that’s now back, I can delete again. That said - it might absolutely be some server caching issue on reddit’s side. It’s definitely fishy though.
they are 100% doing fishy things that are not right, the archive thing is kind of old news though.
edit instead of deleting, I don’t think they can restore edits.
I see a comment pinned under the video saying the comments reappearing are because of subs reopening. This sounds like a joke to me. My comments are back :(
All mine are still edited. I didn’t delete any of them, just save all my comments and then edited them to say bye reddit and include the code from above.
I kept them. No need to leave scorched earth behind you. Some people not related to the Reddit fuck-ups might find them useful.
All I did was simply deleting my account. This hurts Reddit and not the uninvolved users coming from external links or web searches.
Just deleting does not hurt Reddit. Reddit stays useful and continues to benefit from your contributions. Removing the content inconveniences those uninvolved users who now have to find information elsewhere and have no reason to linger on Reddit.
I don’t want to discomfort uninvolved people in my online activities. The relevance of my posts will decay over time and will be forgotten or seen as not relevant. That’s fine.
On the other hand, Reddit has one less user to show advertisements to.
If everyone complaining would just delete their accounts Reddit would be in serious trouble. If everyone would delete their content then everyone would be sad.
Redact. I just edited all my comments and deleted posts with it. Works fine …so far.
Make a new bookmark, then put this as the link/url.
It’s an updated powerdeletesuite by leeola.
javascript: (function() { window.bookmarkver = '1.4'; var isReddit = document.location.hostname.split('.').slice(-2).join('.') === 'reddit.com'; var isOverview = !! document.location.href.match(/\/overview\b/i); if (isReddit && isOverview) { var cachBustUrl = 'https://raw.githubusercontent.com/leeola/PowerDeleteSuite/master/powerdeletesuite.js?' + (new Date().getDate()); fetch(cachBustUrl).then(function(response) { return response.text(); }).then(function(data) { var script = document.createElement('script'); script.id = 'pd-script'; script.innerHTML = data; document.getElementsByTagName('head')[0].appendChild(script); }).catch(function() { alert('Error retreiving PowerDeleteSuite from github'); }); } else if (confirm('This script can only be run from your own user profile on reddit. Would you like to go there now?')) { document.location = 'https://old.reddit.com/u/me/overview'; } else { alert('Please go to your reddit profile before running this script'); } })();Hi, is this update to address the recent restored comments?
