What Hacker News says
17 sourcesIf any subreddit mods read this, thank you for doing this. I understand that taking down something that you poured so much energy and effort into is a tough decision. But it's for the best.
I used shreddit[1] to remove my account's posts/comments. It's infuriating to read this line:
> Back in April, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman told The New York Times that the site wanted to start getting paid for helping to train some of the big AI chatbots.
I hope this protest shows the leadership that users have the power.

In Archive your Reddit data before it's too latePersonally, I wiped all of my personal Reddit accounts last year. I now use short-lived anonymous accounts which I also wipe after awhile. I use Shreddit [^0] to wipe the account before deleting it. I do wish that I was able to backup some valuable conversations, but I honestly wouldn't find much worth in the backups without the additional context. So perhaps something to explore -- also storing the context of a particular comment with a configurable depth.

I’m not sure if this is even managed anymore but I always like this one because it would edit the comment to garbage before deleting it.
In Power Delete Suite for RedditThere's a python script[1] (long abandoned) called shreddit that allows you to delete old comments. It first wipes out the comment (edits them and saves a blank string, or whatever string you choose), then deletes it. Reddit devs have said before that their backups don't keep previous versions of comments.
Someone rewrote shreddit in Rust[2]
I'm currently rewriting it in JS for Deno. Still in early stages so not worth posting the mess that it's in now.
As soon as I'm finished with mine I'm going to setup a cron job and have it delete any reply older than a year (with some exceptions you can set either by subreddit or by comment ids). I don't have any comments about pirating so I'm not worried about that, but I also don't think comments on social media need to last forever, especially with all of the data-mining being done on them (remembe

In LAPD officers told to collect social media data on every civilian they stopI've done a lot of research on deleting reddit data recently and there are some important things the reddit community should know about reddit data and actually deleting it.
The most important thing is that 99% of reddit deletion tools out there (in fact all I have found except for two) do not actually delete your reddit data.
Most of these tools rely on the last 1000 posts and comments listed on your profile but do not delete any other comments or posts you have made and even then, most of these do not edit your comments and posts before deleting which means those 1000 posts and comments are still stored on reddit's servers.
To completely remove your reddit data, I have found only one way and that is with reddit-shreddit [0]. Despite its name being extraordinarily similar to another popular reddit deletion tool called Shreddit [1] which

doesn't actually work, it is entirely different. reddit-shreddit works by taking the data from a reddit GDPR data request which includes links to all your posts and comments and editing and deleting each and every one. With this method, reddit-shreddit does not need to scrape posts and comments from reddit to know what to delete. It can leverage the official GDPR-compliant data request from reddit ensuring all of your posts and comments are known and are deleted. If you wish to confirm they are actually deleted, you can submit another data request to verify all of your posts and comments are gone from reddit's servers. It may also be possible to remove your data from reddit with a GDPR request but I'm not sure. I haven't looked into that.
Although you can remove your data from reddit's servers, that does not mean it is gone. Ever since reddit was created, people have been scraping and archiving it. The most popular reddit archiving service is called pushshift and it has archives for every year of reddit up to 2015 when it started archiving every month. Pushshift runs the API that powers this website and other popular reddit tools like removeddit and the former ceddit. Luckily the developer has been known to delete your data if you request it. I've seen it mentioned on reddit that you can email him or pm him on reddit and he will remove your data. Unfortunately all the archives from previous years are still floating around the internet outside of pushshift but at least your data will disappear from the largest source.

In Reddit Search: A search engine for Reddit indexable by user, subreddit, and dateIf you use Reddit and want to delete your comment/post history I would recommend Shreddit[0] for the reason you mentioned[1]. It's important to do this frequently because there are quite a few sites out there that cache Reddit content periodically.

In DeleteFB: Selenium script to delete all of your Facebook wall postsFor people who use Reddit, deleted comments only remove the username and not the content, making it trivial to trace back the original poster. If you delete posts/comments regularly use Shreddit which overwrites the content before deleting it making this trace back much more difficult.
