Pretty sure that doesn't work anymore now that the API is gone, right?
Just ran it now it’s a little slow but connects and goes just fine. Here’s a link if anyone needs it - https://redact.dev
Can confirm, purging my account as I type this.
There are many Grease Monkey scripts that will do a mass 'replace then delete' on your Reddit comments. Since Grease Monkey is a browser script engine, no API access is required.
Okay I'm not entirely sure you know what an API even is based on that last sentence, nevermind the privileged access a browser plugin apparently has. However riddle me this: How is a Grease Monkey Script going to find all my comments if the Reddit Website isn't even showing all of them to me?
Of course I know what an API is. No need to be a dick when people are just trying to be helpful.
The browser script will only be able to delete what is drawn on the page, so you will need to wait for dark subs to come back online so your comments and posts can be displayed in your history. You will also need RES on that browser for the "endless" feature. I deleted almost twelve years worth of content this way but still go back every few days in order to catch stragglers as subs come back online.
Yeah I'm a little reluctant to take help from people who make my bullshit meter go to 180 in as little as 13 words.
It's not only the dark subs though. It's mostly that Reddit is caching a reduced list of my comments and only shows me those, and it doesn't give me a new list when I deleted all of them until like a day later.
Let me try it on my second account now and see. But I just did my porn Reddit account on Monday and worked.
