Does anyone know how to modify Shreddit?

I really want to use this, but I have a couple of additional requirements:
First, to save a copy of my content locally on my hard disk (somewhere, anywhere, any format is fine) before overwriting and deleting the comment/post. So that I can manually repost on kbin/fediverse later.
Second, one particular post and comment I'd like to exclude from deletion. I've already overwritten with my good-bye reddit message and - as it was my most popular post ever - like to leave it up so folks who used to go back to that post to see my advice will know where to follow up to find me again.
I'd actually prefer to leave all my comments up with just the modified message but I think I have too many for the tools to delete automatically - instead I'd have to delete, wait a bit for the queue to refresh, then delete again as older comments start showing up on the API.
And I'm not confident that Reddit will get back to me before July 1 about my data retrevial request, which might make automatically deleting much harder.
Anyone know of a modified Shreddit that can handle these two requirements?
That's what I went with originally. However, even after using the versions that include the delay, the CSV file that I download from Chrome seems to be oddly truncated - it stops in the middle of the text of my comment (not even filling out the rest of the fields to make that line a valid CSV line.
Has anyone else seen this? Could it just be an issue with the chrome browser not being able to dump the full data contents? (I have no images or videos or anything it's all just text).
Same here, the powerdelete csv file was truncated and is not a reliable export. I requested a full export from Reddit a while ago, never got an answer or export file and now I don't really care about old comments, I would just prefer to have everything deleted.
I had a similar issue. It only saved partial text of like 12 posts/comments. I chose the delete option too, so it's basically all gone.
