So long and thanks for all the fish, reddit.

Using the PowerDeleteSuite (while it still works) to edit all my comments from a 12 year old account.

P.S. If you want to mass edit and/or delete your comments, do it now (before 01 July when this tool which uses the reddit API stops working).

P.P.S. Yes, I blacked out the embarrassing amount of gold I gave to that dumpster fire of a site.

remember, edit, dont delete, deletes will be rolled back

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

Yeah, I'm editing them all to state why I left.

Not sure anybody will care but why not.

i generated a multi-paragraph story with keywords that will show up in searches for things like cloud services.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I did the exact same thing, also with a link that redirects you to a tutorial explaining how to get started with Lemmy. Took about 7 hours but the script actually succesfully edited every single comment I ever made.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago

I’ve done that with some of my accounts, and my friends did the same. The accounts that linked to Lemmy, Kbin or Mastodon were shadow banned. Manitcor’s solution (another reply to this comment) might be a better option that glides under autobot-radars.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Really?? That seems illegal. Where did you hear that?

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (1 children)

I really wish people wouldn't do this. This does nothing to Reddit and only hurts people trying to get answers when searching.

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago (2 children)

That's exactly the point, they're making the content on reddit useless so it's not appealing to investors or anyone at all.

It's not that hard to understand

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Tell that to people who don't get it

[–] [email protected] 3 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Does this program make a backup? If not then this is not really a good thing. Backing up and moving those knowledge to here is what we need

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago

All of reddit is already backed up in torrents and you can also make a backup with power delete suite

[–] [email protected] 2 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Be warned: I used the same script to automate changing all my comments to nonsense, but I found a couple of days later that Reddit had changed them all back.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

It seems that there's an issue where Reddit rate-limits the comment editing, so many comments don't get edited. There are other versions of the script which add a 5 second delay to avoid getting limited.

[–] [email protected] 0 points 1 year ago* (last edited 1 year ago) (3 children)

It's your decision, and I hate Reddit and Spez ever since they decided to do the whole API thing, but personally, if I were to close my account, I wouldn't scramble all of my comments and posts. It makes it harder for people who still search for answers to questions on reddit to find what they're looking for. You aren't preserving valuable information with this, you're destroying it.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

That’s a feature, not a bug.

I scrambled years worth of comments into a statement about the fuckery Reddit has committed and left those edited comments intact while deleting my accounts.

This serves a couple of purposes:

  1. Devalue the platform by destroying information, with the explicit hope that it fucks with Google results and that people will leave if enough people salted the earth on their way out
  2. Informing people of Reddit’s fuckery
[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

I deleted all mine, but I don't feel bad as I don't think I posted a single thing of value in about 100 pages worth of comments.

I'd rather leave people pissed off at reddit when they go into a thread and see missing comments. Ideally they will look up the deleted post, then realize it was someone trolling
