Apollo founder Christian Selig said he’s “heartbroken” about pulling the plug on the third-party app following Reddit’s API pricing changes.

    I’m currently in the process of doing that… sort of.

    I’m using https://redact.dev/ which gives the option of editing all of the comments to replace it with random text. I think I’m not going to delete my comments and instead leave them as random just to fuck up any future AI data mining. Scorched Earth :P

    It’s over a decade of comments and posts, across three different accounts so the process is taking all day. Kinda weird seeing comments from 10 years ago stream by as they’re being randomized.

      I ran this in my account the other day in preview but didn’t pull the trigger since I was waiting for Apollo to die. Now when redact asks me to log into my Reddit account, I do and give it permission, and all it does is open Reddit chat. I can’t figure out what’s different or why it won’t do anything else. Using the same iMac.
