I've been working on deleting my reddit posts over the past year. The site now feels like it's almost 100% bots, which I find more than a little sad.

I wrote myself a little python script to do this a while back. I’m not sure that it will still work due to their API changes.

A longer while back I wrote a little JS bookmarklet to do it. It could just do a page at a time, which was annoying, but not too bad. However, when they would change the site, it would stop working and need to be fixed.

Remember to edit the comment before you delete it. From what I read, deleting a comment just sets a flag on the comment as delete, so it’s still in the DB for them to sell. Making it garbage text will kill the value of the comment in the DB as well, and probably really screw with the AI trying to train from it.

There are scripts that can do this all for you in an instant.

Thanks for the pointer! And yes, there are, but I kind of enjoy going through the comment history while deleting. Memories :).
