Welcome aboard and thank you for your service!
FYI see also https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the (no worries if you're cool with it, but just wanted to make sure you understood the limitations of PDS and weren't surprised by posts or comments remaining after PDS claimed to wipe everything out)
Thanks. There's been a lot of talk lately about comments not being properly deleted or Reddit restoring them after deletion. But I figure I can just run PDS multiple times over the next couple of weeks to get the ones that it didn't catch on the first run. In any case, the "comments" section in my profile comes up empty right now.
I did do a full export through the request form on Reddit before going through with this. I had a total of 13K comments to wipe.
Go figure. After three days of my profile being completely empty, there are suddenly at least 30 pages of submissions that have returned.
Even after you manually wiped using the links in your archive? If you just used PDS though it might be that reddit did some reindexing to make older stuff show up again, or a sub or a few going unprivate.
Nah it's 13K comments, I can't wipe them all manually. It could be as you say that PDS doesn't see comments in private subs. In that case I'll need to find something that lets me feed it all the links.
Ah, recommend trying out https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit - that one you can feed your archive and it will figure out the links on its own
