I keep reading that former users of reddit are scrubbing their old accounts out of spite. So I wanted to know- What is it? Why are people doing it? Does it actually hurt reddit? What are some good bots that will do it for you?

    If you only need json, I recently wrote a userscript that exports saved posts and comments for myself. Please report back if it works/you decide to use it :)

    (It works by scraping the pages, so its gonna take some time) (It also has horrible ui, sorry) https://github.com/hyperacuity/userscripts

      I exclusively use reddit on mobile. Hope it is useful for others

        You could actually still use this (on Android), because you can visit Reddit in the browser, and Firefox allows you to use an addon called “Tampermonkey”.

        But then I don’t know if the json file would be of any use to you, probably not :/
