This is a great tool to overwrite your posts with random words and a link to get others to consider doing so as well.
Once my comments are all gone, I'm gonna delete the posts too.
EDIT: ..and I'm perma-banned :). Guess they don't like mentioning lemmy.whynotdrs.org ("... attempting to pillage the community to start another"). Yeah, that's kinda the point. Buh-bye rexxit.
I've been instructing people to 'check out the links at DRSGME.org' which has the Discord and Lemmy links but doesn't seem to trigger things (yet anyways)
What if the overwriting includes not random words but an explanation why you're deleting and a link here?
I first overwrote them all with random words, then with an explanation of why (reddit API protest, and superstonk censorship, mentioning whynotdrs). Woke up this morning to find I'm perma-banned :). They don't want users attempting to call attention to other communities:
Hello, You have been permanently banned from participating in r/Superstonk because your comment violates this community's rules. You won't be able to post or comment, but you can still view and subscribe to it.
Note from the moderators:
You've chosen to attempt to pillage this community to build another. If there's another community you'd rather be part of you're welcome to go there instead.
If you have a question regarding your ban, you can contact the moderator team by replying to this message.
Reminder from the Reddit staff: If you use another account to circumvent this subreddit ban, that will be considered a violation of the Content Policy and can result in your account being suspended from the site as a whole.
So funny. That subreddit was created by someone not happy with another subreddit but we don't talk about that either, right? Tell me it's not containment efforts.
supersphincter mods continue to clench down hard
Oof. They told someone else that sharing the link to this community "shows extreme bad faith". They appear to love a bit of shaming and admonishment when they kick you out.
FWIW you can go to any community you like, you can even go back to Superstonk if you like! We're not afraid of sharing other communities. If you love something set it free! And we love all you apes 😊
"pillage" ok, viking
They speak as though they are the community, and not the members of the community itself
I can't wrap my head around it. The people are the community, and the people need a platform to openly and freely speak!
Same as the congress representing the people, lmao
One caution I would have about removing all the reddit backstory is that if someone uninformed goes to look into things they're going to start with reddit since that's where it all began, and without some record of fuckery, investigations, and findings they will only see what the compromised redditors want them to see (ie. it's all over, you missed it, etc.)
Does the app you're pointing folks to make it easy to selectively keep some of the comments or would it be a laborious message-by-message deletion if you wanted to just remove things with identifying details, etc.?
Yeah, I thought about that too. The tool allows selecting which posts/comments to update or delete via keyword and date filters I believe.
I didn't myself ever post any groundbreaking DD on SStonk, so I had no big reservations about nuking my own comments from there at least :p
