There is nothing more frustrating than searching for information on old reddit threads and seeing that some useful comment that used to be there is gone because the user nuked all their comments via a script. I understand the privacy reasons but at the same time it does ruin a lot of content on sites and can force people to repost old questions to get the answers again.
- endless1234 6y agoThis indeed sucks, but it would be pretty easy to fix. Just allow your nickname to be deleted for old posts automatically. I don't think individual posts' privacy is what people are usually worried about, but the possibility of getting "doxed" when given an easy way to view all of their previous messages.
- Fogest 6y agoI have actually considered using these scripts on my reddit account for privacy reasons but have always been concerned about deleting some useful posts/comments I have made. I definitely would love an option to unassociate my username from posts but still leave the content up.
