Some of Reddit’s most popular communities have posted open letters to the company with a series of requests regarding many key issues at the heart of the recent protests on the platform. They want a response by June 29th.

    All deleting your account does is remove your username from your comments while also removing your ability to delete or edit said comments. It makes more sense to keep it active so you have more control over your data.

      Yeah, reddit is restoring bulk edits made using the api but you can still go to your user profile, sort by top scoring comments, and manually change your top 10-20 comments

          So you used it to only edit instead of delete? If it’s possible I might give it a shot

            Yep you can just edit all comments without deleting. I used to use the original version, but it didn’t work this last time due to their rate-limiting. Using that forked version with the delay worked, but it took a long time.

              Good to know, I got both versions downloaded here but still didn’t try using it. I’ll give them a read to see if they have the option to use a set of sentences I give it instead of turning every message into the same one so it won’t trip reddit’s filters or something (or maybe I can implement it if I have the time).

                  Yeah, this is the fork I’ve got. I cloned the repo to read it and check how it does its thing. It’s just that I’ve been trying to get into the habit of checking small projects to see how people outside my work code (and to be more responsible with running random scripts)
