I took a quick look while it was up and it was just a user guide, similar to the lemmymigration subreddit

Redact can automate your content purge.

Windows, Mac and Linux clients available.

This will go away with the api changes right?

[–] [email protected] 5 points 1 year ago

Yes. Don't wait around if you want to automate content removal.

Is there any way of downloading / exporting my comments? I know it sounds daft, but there's some of my early posts about personal stuff that I'd like to keep. I couldn't find anything in my account settings (first time I'd logged on to the actual website in a long time ha)

You can request your data, but it can take 30 days, so that's not very viable: https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request

Power Delete Suite automates the exporting of your data, but from what I can tell it just exports your comments into a spreadsheet

Cool thanks. I'd be ok with waiting for the response before deleting my account. I might give that other option a go as well. Once I've got all my comments in a spreadsheet I might then realise how pointless keeping them is!

@charlytune @LinkOpensChest_wav I looked through my past comments on Reddit and I think only one was of any use. Frankly I mostly lurked, so they can have those comments. I'll delete my account June 30th (or before if spez tries damage control again) and just enjoy the fediverse.

I know I saw some programs mentioned in various threads that will download your posts and comments into JSON and .csv files
