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?
Are they actually the same comments you deleted or older ones? Reddit only lets you browse the most recent 1000 or so comments.
Let’s say you have made 4000 comments on reddit. You go into your user profile, delete every single comment, and it shows empty. But you’ve only deleted the most recent 1000 or so. There are 3000 comments not showing up. After a while I believe reddit will refresh your user profile, and another set of 1000 or so will appear in your profile. These are some of the older comments you could not reach before.
Delete those, and you still have another 2000 left to go. Rinse and repeat…
In addition, your profile does not show comments that are in private subreddits. If the subreddit subsequently reopens, those comments will reappear in your profile.
