In the csv from Reddit it shows I had over 5100 comments. I ran PowerDeleteSuite and it completely erased all my comments. I kept my account and I go back on Reddit once in a while to check and only once I had to delete a stray comment that popped back up. Otherwise my comment and post history (12 y.o. acct) is gone.
What are you using to prove all your comments are gone? If you are just looking in your profile it will.be empty as Reddit doesn't bump comments into the list unless somone votes on them. So if you delete your new 1000 it doesn't promote the 1001st into that list likewise if you delete your top 1000 it won't promote the 1001st until someone drops a vote on one.
Try googling your username and Reddit and see what is there (I found hundreds even though your profile was showing only two)
Just did that and holy shit there's a ton still left over. Is there another alternative that will delete properly cause my profile shows it's empty.
Edit: And to clarify, I didn't get my GDPR archive back yet despite putting in the request a few weeks ago, so dunno if I can use any of the tools that require the archive.
There is a script that tries pushfit list but not sure if that is still working (edit: no pushfit has gone private I think or just dead), otherwise wait for the gdpr. Mine took about 3weeks but did come through, I think I got in just before the rush though as request the end of the first blackout week.
thanks!
I went ahead and manually deleted a bunch, but it looks like there are at least several thousand left. I'll have to wait, but honestly I don't even know if they'll actually comply anyway.
There is a way to do this, pushshift is gone but the torrents are still available and you can use that, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the
There is another way to use pushshift, despite it being shut down, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the
Yeah so I assume you mean the torrent of data. That is great but to be efficient you need to know what subs you post in otherwise you will be traveling a lot of data. Unless it is hosted and searchable somewhere.
Ahhhh, now I understand!! Thank you very much for the explanation, it wasn't very clear to me. Guess I'll have to run shreddit over the weekend then.
