I want to delete mine. I've heard they undelete your comments though. If there's a way to destroy the data I'll do that instead
Depending on how many comments you made, you can go and edit them to nonsense text.
Unfortunately I spent a few years being an insufferable wad on that site, so there's too much to delete by hand.
The perfect use for AI! Have a script use AI to overwrite your old posts with realistic looking but nonsense text.
With what API?
The API is still there. You get 100 free API calls per minute.
Oh, word? I think scrubbing my account with some AI junk would take like an entire day then
I used Power Delete Suite to overwrite all my comments with nonsense. The hope is they can't profit off my thoughts by training AI.
Even better. Replace your comments with AI nonsense. This way not only is it harder to tell you did it, and restore from backup, but you also poison any of their trained models.

I've heard they keep at least one backup, so you should overwrite your data twice, at least. There are other solutions out there that do the same as well.
Saved for later. Thanks buddy
They should really make that an option, and the fact that they don't is infuriating
