> I for one will try to undo my past contributions to accelerate its decline. This is a great idea. I'm going to bulk edit then delete my old comments (I recall reading somewhere that editing them overwrites the original field in the database whereas deleting just sets a deleted flag). Destroys the value that I've created for free for that shitheap, plus it's helpful to make doxxing me harder.

I just bulk-edited them so I could leave a message about why the comment is gone.

  Would you mind sharing how?

    I used shreddit and wrote a message of my choice in the conf file. I commented out the line from the script that deleted the comment.

Look into Shreddit [1] which does that for you. It needs API access though, so make sure to do it before June 30th... [1]: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

  Can you edit posts and comments that are more than six months old?
  - rx_tx 3y ago
    Yes, I had to run the script several times, but it eventually edited and got rid of stuff that was super old. Basically every single comment made by me is gone (which I wanted). I ran it before the blackout though, not sure how it would work with Reddit in its current state.
