What is Reddit account scrubbing/washing? - Lemmy.world

I keep reading that former users of reddit are scrubbing their old accounts out of spite. So I wanted to know- What is it? Why are people doing it? Does it actually hurt reddit? What are some good bots that will do it for you?

To do a full scrub of everything you’ve ever posted:

  • Request your GDPR data package here: www.reddit.com/settings/data-request
  • Wait for it to arrive
  • Use shreddit to fully delete everything: github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

    • This will take a long time if you’ve posted and commented a lot. This works better than PowerDeleteSuite in my experience, as PDS missed a lot of stuff that was older than a certain point.

    I got the data but saved comments and posts only have sub name and permalink. Unlike our comment which also have the saved content text along with permalink. Did your saved comments also have this problem?

    This script clears your posted posts and comments, it’s not for your saved items.
