Since Reddit admin have made it impossible to delete posts by hindering tools’ access to the API and by simply reinstating them from archives, has anyone tried simply batch editing them to something guaranteed to get banned? I’m currently using Redact.dev’s software to edit all existing comments and posts to something that will get my account banned from most subs. We’ll see if it works.
I spent a week manually deleting everything reddit showed me, until the comment / post list permanently displayed “this user hasn’t posted anything” and “there seems to be nothing here” for two days in a row. Then I used “shreddit” and it found and deleted a whooping 981 MORE comments that reddit somehow chose to not show me. My account is deleted now, but some of the comments are STILL visible (just no longer attributed to me and instead “posted by [deleted]”. I can even outright google them if I type my old username into the search bar.
There is definitely something fishy going on.
That part is because google’s crawlers cache everything on the internet. It’s going to take a while until this is refreshed.
Oh, ok. Good to know that at least some part of the issue is not directly reddits fault and might solve itself eventually. Still fishy that there are so many undeleted comments after manually deleting them and using a program that allegedly deletes eveything.
