News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.
**You may not encourage brigading any communities or subreddits in any way. **
YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here. This includes using AI responses and summaries.

While we have you here, how did you mass edit your comments ? I’ve seen a few paid services but I really don’t want to pay…

this is the best way to do it
be sure to uncheck remove submissions and remove comments check edit, and place the message you want to overwrite all your comments with. Best to not make it something mods would take down tho
Thank you ! Works wonders 🙂 is there a point to editing instead of just deleting, though ? I’m doing both just in case but I don’t know if that’s useful
If you just delete the comments without editing them Reddit will reinstate the comment and just put a [deleted] tag in place of the username because Reddit backs up all comments and posts.
My understanding is that editing the comments creates a new version of this backup and therefore the old comment can’t be reinstated.
So it’s basically undermines reddits process of retaining information if all the information is tainted. It’s a big fuck you to reddit.
