    after reading all the comments on this post

    I just request someone to just nuke the data servers of reddit

      They get edited back. I’ve been playing this game for 10 days. I edit once or twice, then delete a few days later, and there’s still comments popping back.

        the delete event is the trigger thier automation uses, they can’t trigger on the edit event as there are too many legit uses of it. However undeleting by default for a time period is easier and will result in less tickets.

        don’t delete, just edit.

          They definitely do, I’ve experienced it firsthand: I mass edited all my comments to “[deleted]” and many of them got edited back within 2-3 days. There are some reasonable explanations about buggy caches, but that’s a really convenient bug for Reddit right now.

    API limits, need to use a tool that waits 5s between each call otherwise it gets limited and doesn’t actually edit/delete everything!

      The second time I tried, I used a forked PDS that had a 5s timeout modification, edit only, no deletes. It edited my comments, but only up to two months. The rest don’t even show on my own profile, but I still find 10 and 11 months old comments if I search online.

      I just learned if you got under 1k comments, power delete suite will do it for you. If you got more, good luck.

      ChatGPT or Alpaca has your back there, you can get it to mangle your comments to uniquely meaningless nonsense

      That doesn’t remove your content, it just makes your profile on new reddit blank. You can still see your profile on old reddit if you’re logged in (for now).
