I edited many of my comments up to old ones to "I moved to Lemmy. Save yourselves". They're also boosted by the previous upvotes that the old content got

This is brilliant af! I’m going to do that when I get the chance
until after like 24h some of the comments magically reappear
If that happens with people in the EU they’ll be fucked by GDPR
What can we do, how do we report that?
would be hilarious if old comment trees of redditors arguing with each other suddenly became:
- spez is a cunt
- fuck spez
- spez is a cunt
- fuck spez
- spez is a cunt
- fuck spez
Would also be funny if it's

-Thanks guys that solved the problem 100%This annoys me already so keep it up.
Still not as bad as "nvm found the solution"
Oops double post
That's an argument that became a circle jerk.
My 1000+ comments are still deleted and they all say fuck spez. So hopefully it stays that way
I manually changed my last 50 or so comments to tell people to go to lemmy
I did the same but with every one of my 4,000 comments from the last 11 years.
Dedication. Hopefully you used a script lol
I tried but it seemed to only edit about half of them. Don't underestimate my level of spite for corporate greed lol.

Your technically right
To be honest, I was on Reddit since 2015 and never understood exactly the difference between removed comment and deleted comment.
I scrubbed all my 11+ years worth of posts and comments across four accounts. Some of those posts included technical fixes that I worked out myself and my posts were THE ONLY search result for those specific problems.
The only account I bothered to purge all the comments prior to deleting was the 10 year old account that I used to post all of my OC articles. The rest I just deleted. I'm not sure it achieves anything but if anyone used reddit anything like I did, each of us just reduced the number of active accounts on the site by 5 or so.
I know I'm kidding myself but I'd like to imagine total number of active accounts is one of the metrics being used for valuation during their IPO and they're currently scrambling to explain why it just keeps dropping.
This is sadly real since they undeleted all of mine 7 times. I think they’re praying you close the account, so they can toss the comments back up but have no say if it’s back up.
Wasnt there a guy threatening to sue them if they kept being his comments back?
Yup, but they’re hoping to sell all of it for AI training down the line and kill old Reddit where it’s easier to dodge ads.
So they will likely say there’s no evidence who posted the original comment, and make you go through a maze of steps like requiring a driver’s license scan sent to them through email. Instagram tried this.
It really is reflective of reddit’s current quality of content
Same here. Deleted all the comments and posts on my 3 accounts.
A thread when a bunch of folks start to talk about violence against literal Nazis and Spez goes WWII on them (from the Reich)
Is there any way to automatically edit all my Reddit comments to "fuck /u/spez" or something like that?
Somebody pointed me to this fork of power delete suite: https://github.com/deestan/PowerDeleteSuite
It takes a while longer to run because it waits in between each edit, but best I could tell it got each and every of my 2000+ comments. The original version got most of the edits eaten by rate limiting and only got 25% of my comments at best.
I used this on 30k comments and then I sorted by best and manually edited all the highest voted and most informative ones manually. It took several runs over a few days too.
Does it still work?
With power delete suite you can though I had to run it several times to get 99% of them edited
Before the api pricing there was powerdelete suite
If you find something like that, I'd be thrilled.
Power Delete Suite is pretty cool
I think there was a tool for that, but pretty sure it uaed the API so most lilely will not work. I saw a post before the End Day reminding people the last to use it if they want. But I didn't look too much into it.
I just did it manually. There's probably a script for that though
I said in another discussion, I'm in no way a great Reddit personality, but I deleted all my stuff and it came back. I hope there's some kind of personal data reckoning coming for Reddit, but even if there isn't, fuck spez.
I have hopped on just to see what /r/all looks like a few times, and the quality of content has taken a major nose dive, along with the average votes being significantly smaller for the top posts of the day.
Is funny to me.
I can't tell you how frustrating it is even before all the drama how much it is to see the ~~top~~ comments deleted/removed or clicking a post and a mod removed it.
Never posted on reddit 😂
