I’ve always meant to do this, but after hearing about the AI thing I want to get it done. Is there no free solution? I have too much history to clear manually.

EDIT: PowerDeleteSuite did the trick, thanks!

    I used Power Delete Suite about a month or so ago, it’s foss and it worked great.

    I set it to delete each comment, but in case Reddit tries to “roll back” my deletes I also set it to manually edit and save every comment to something (ex. “comment removed”), before doing the delete. It took a good hour to get through all my comments.

    I also decided not to delete my 15yo account. My logic here was perhaps that will be a protection from Reddit resurrecting my comments or account in some way, since it’s still an active account. It just sits there empty now.

      I deleted my ancient accounts a while ago. Let them have my random comments and snide jokes. Any LLM trained against my account would get decommed quickly

        I’m fairly certain they have a backup of their DB before they made the 3rd party API announcement. It’s only a year old a fairly “unfucked” with that they could easily train an LLM off of that.
