I took part in the Reddit blackout a month ago, and accessed Reddit through Apollo. After the blackout I looked at Reddit a handful of times and then let my association with Reddit die with Apollo.
I haven’t been there since, but now I feel as though I should have deleted my account of 7 years, that way everything I ever contributed will be gone.
However, to accomplish this as you all know I should delete all my posts first and edit all comments. I was wondering what people used to do this. I want everything to read “Edit: moved to Lemmy”.
I’m sure others migrating here have the same question. Thanks.
This is the one I used to purge like a third of my post history so far: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
Seems to be working well.
Be careful not to just delete your account and your comments but to make your comments unusable through editing them. That way, there is nothing useful in there should admins decide to restore your comments against your will.
It's not just a conspiracy theory that they have restored deleted comments.
I deleted all of my comments twice because they were restored after the "blackout" a few weeks ago, even though they were deleted well before that outage started.
I am in this pickle and idk what to do. I purged all my content and requested the data under gdpr. Finally I got my data and what do ya know? Theres a whole section of my (undeleted???) comments, with additional info like date, which subreddit etc. Before I purged my comments I edited them saying "fuck spez" lol and the list I got from Reddit was mixed edited and unedited. How is that even possible?When I log in, my page is empty, as if everything is actually deleted. What to do now?
