I’ve always meant to do this, but after hearing about the AI thing I want to get it done. Is there no free solution? I have too much history to clear manually.

EDIT: PowerDeleteSuite did the trick, thanks!

    I’m sorry to spoil this to you guys but reddit most likely doesn’t actually delete content when you delete it, it just marks it as deleted and hides it from view

    I used Power Delete Suite about a month or so ago, it’s foss and it worked great.

    I set it to delete each comment, but in case Reddit tries to “roll back” my deletes I also set it to manually edit and save every comment to something (ex. “comment removed”), before doing the delete. It took a good hour to get through all my comments.

    I also decided not to delete my 15yo account. My logic here was perhaps that will be a protection from Reddit resurrecting my comments or account in some way, since it’s still an active account. It just sits there empty now.

      Unfortunately, they still have your comments saved in a database somewhere for LLMs to work on.

      Why are we calling them AI when they aren’t? Why is AGI now what we’ve been calling AI all this time? Is it all just marketing and did “news” outlets just go with it because it was easier?
