Screw community names, I want instance agnostic URLs for posts and comments.

Right now lemmy.ml/comment/123456 and lemmy.ml/comment/123456 are two different comments, and there is no simple way to find one comment on another instance (so you can interact with it from your logged in account). What we should have is lemmy.ml/comment/[email protected] to point to a comment made on another instance, then you can just change the instance name after the @ to find the comment (or post) on any other instance.

Go one further, edit and delete all your posts.

I think lots of instances, basically any of the ones that haven't been defederated. You could also apply directly to beehaw.

lemmy.ml is still in with them, that's probably the biggest. Kbin also works I think. Basically just pick one out of the list of instances at the bottom of any webpage.

You should bear in mind, PowerDeleteSuite doesn't get everything. It can only see what's in your reddit profile under New, Top, Hot & Controversial - there will be numerous posts that are too old with only 1 or a few karma that aren't displayed in these lists. In particular, if you go through your top posts of all time, you might find some replies to these posts that you made that the script did not see.

The GDPR archive gives a full list of all the comments. What we need is a FOSS script that can use these csv files to get everything. Apparently Shreddit can take the csv files, however you have to pay $15 to use this feature.

Hijacking the top comment to say: PowerDeleteSuite doesn't get everything.

How about letting redditors vote that CEOs shouldn't get a golden parachute?

How about shareholders sacking a paedophile CEO for gross misconduct with no golden parachute?

One can only dream.

But seriously though, the people of Taiwan do not consider themselves to be Chinese.

It's kind of funny, China acquires regions and demands the people adopt their nationality. Meanwhile, with the US the various states willingly adopted the nationality. Hell Puerto Rican people still have to press that point, in spite of being the 50th state for over 100 years, but they do so willingly - meanwhile the people of Hong Kong do what they can to flee the Chinese invasion.

“Chinese crap” is what allows America to build F-35 fighter jets, the same crap that also commands 45 to 50 percent of total shipbuilding globally.

Taiwanese =/= Chinese ;)

 

I've run Power Delete Suite a few times, however it looks like it doesn't delete everything. For me, comments that are older than a few months don't show up in /[user]/?sort=new, and similarly there is a limit to comments displayed under hot, top or controversial. The script also missed my comments in /[user]/gilded - it looks like it only runs on the 4 sorting methods in /[user]/overview.

Basically, my comments that are more than a few months old and have less than ~50 karma (which is the vast majority of them over the years) are invisible on my reddit profile, and thus unavailable to PDS.

However, I did a GDPR data request from reddit beforehand, so I have csv files of every comment, including links. I feel like it should be pretty straightforward to make a script to read the csv, open the links and edit each comment, in much the same way that PSD does. Only I'm not quite up to the task.

Does anyone here know of such a script that's already been made, or know of anyone who would be up for making it? I feel like it's not just me in this boat, and in fact many people might think all their comments have been deleted when they aren't.
