    How would I go about doing this? I want to nuke all my comments since I know deleting my account won’t

        Thank you for the links, I think I will try the power delete suite you linked! I might do the same and just edit all my comments to be something like that before I log out for the last time. Sick of that website tbh.

      I personally manually overwrite my comments every few months. Be aware, though, that you can see only the last 1000 comments in your history, so you’d better do it frequently if you are very active. I haven’t seen any of my comments ever restored, unlike what I hear from people who use automated tools.

      There were tools to do it for your… but after the massive migration they blocked a ton (part of the API block that drove everyone away)

        The API is still available in dev mode, just obtain the client ID and secret to authenticate the app. I used shreddit this way, it was more thorough than PowerDeleteSuite when I gave it the GDPR checkout. Both tools produce a log so you can refer to the posts/comments later.

      if you google how to do this, you can find some threads, i used a github library that did it pretty easily with a step by step walk through, some let you edit it and fill with quotes or advertising or whatever.
