After the blackout I deleted all my posts and comments on reddit using the PowerDeleteSuite, and since then I’ve come back weekly to find comments existing on my account. I’ve been deleting them by hand now that the API is unusable. Does reddit pull these out of a backup? Do I just now see all of my comments? What’s the reason these comments keep showing up?
Of course I know what an API is. No need to be a dick when people are just trying to be helpful.
The browser script will only be able to delete what is drawn on the page, so you will need to wait for dark subs to come back online so your comments and posts can be displayed in your history. You will also need RES on that browser for the “endless” feature. I deleted almost twelve years worth of content this way but still go back every few days in order to catch stragglers as subs come back online.
Yeah I’m a little reluctant to take help from people who make my bullshit meter go to 180 in as little as 13 words.
It’s not only the dark subs though. It’s mostly that Reddit is caching a reduced list of my comments and only shows me those, and it doesn’t give me a new list when I deleted all of them until like a day later.
