Nuking old Reddit accounts

Nuking old Reddit accounts - lemm.ee

I took part in the Reddit blackout a month ago, and accessed Reddit through Apollo. After the blackout I looked at Reddit a handful of times and then let my association with Reddit die with Apollo. I haven’t been there since, but now I feel as though I should have deleted my account of 7 years, that way everything I ever contributed will be gone. However, to accomplish this as you all know I should delete all my posts first and edit all comments. I was wondering what people used to do this. I want everything to read “Edit: moved to Lemmy”. I’m sure others migrating here have the same question. Thanks.

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.

    There is a way to make it not delete your comments and change what the edited message is, check the readme in the github link.
