One could just mass edit all their comments to contain some garbage with power delete suite. Of course they would have to hurry, as that relies on the reddit api for making the edits.
My accounts only had a couple of hundred posts each, so that didn’t turn out to be an issue. I haven’t yet deleted them, but the edited comments haven’t been restored after a week or so.
Okay? I don’t know what PDS is… so I definitely don’t run it. I have absolutely deleted more than 1000 items in one go. The app can run delete the first 1k then pull the next 1k automatically in the same singular button press. If you’re app isn’t doing it, then I would presume it’s poorly coded. Here’s a screenshot example of me deleting >2000 items in one go.
And Redact is not PDS… It missed no items. I’m still completely unsure why you’re bringing up something that nobody was talking about nor has any of the deficiencies that you mentioned.
Same experience here with 2k+ comments processed, but I did use one of the forks that waits 5s between each edit/deletion to avoid getting rate-limited
Alternative to using a forked version is to use inbuilt browser dev tools to throttle the connection within a tab. In firefox eg: ctrl+shift+c -> network->throttling. That way it can’t flood the server with requests.
That sounds useful, built-in stuff is nice, although I don’t know for what else I could use it lol anyway I didn’t know about that, so thanks!
In the early days after people started noticing that some comments weren’t being edited/deleted I stumbled upon a comment, don’t remember whether on here on on Reddit, that suggested using this fork.
I’m thinking, instead of mass deleting/mass editing, which would be easily detectable and reversed, manually editing high value comments like tech support or consumer advice.

If one was to delete the top 1000 comments, then would the older ones be visible?
I had separate accounts for pretty much every community, so they didn’t have too many comments.

Consider selling them? 🤷♂️
I’d rather delete them than sell ad space.
Yes. For instance using a tool like Redact you can mass delete ALL requests as it simply pulls a new 1000 comments since it deleted the last 1000.

PowerDeleteSuite got 1495 of my comments. Double checked from multiple devices while logged out, it definitely worked

BTW: where did you find the fork?
