I took part in the Reddit blackout a month ago, and accessed Reddit through Apollo. After the blackout I looked at Reddit a handful of times and then let my association with Reddit die with Apollo.

I haven’t been there since, but now I feel as though I should have deleted my account of 7 years, that way everything I ever contributed will be gone.

However, to accomplish this as you all know I should delete all my posts first and edit all comments. I was wondering what people used to do this. I want everything to read “Edit: moved to Lemmy”.

I’m sure others migrating here have the same question. Thanks.

Redact.dev I don't know if it still works with the API changes and I'm too lazy to look, but I assume it probably is still capable. It can rewrite your comments for you, then delete them.

I've just used it last week, it still works fine. And since spez got a reputation for editing comments against him, I didn't delete my account, just edit the comments and delete posts. I'm gonna edit them again sometime in case that cunt edits my comment
