I want to get to either rewrite all my old reddit comments or delete them (prefer to rewrite them all to an insulting message to reddit) before all third party apps are effectively removed on 01 July.

I vaguely remember there was a way to do this.

Does anybody know?

    they are 100% doing fishy things that are not right, the archive thing is kind of old news though.

    edit instead of deleting, I don’t think they can restore edits.

      I edited before deleting. All my original comments are back. Tomorrow I’ll try just editing alone, but I doubt they’ll stay put for too long.

        curious to know how it works out, delete is the event trigger, if they reversed every edit the utility of the button would be 0 and it would make mods jobs even harder.

        I think I figured it out. The stuff that’s „coming back“ is not in the Power Delete Suite backup. It’s just posts and comments in subs that were restricted that go back online.
