‘Nothing is changing’ — Reddit is denying a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content if it can’t reach deals with AI companies::Reddit initially denied a report from The Washington Post that it might force users to log in to see content. However, the Post says it may still block search crawlers, and Reddit didn’t deny to The Verge that it may do so.

I’ll tell ya one thing that’s changed. I deleted my posts and comments, along with my account last night after being inactive since June. Idiots

Did you use a program to scrub that? I haven't been on since June, but I wouldn't mind twisting the knife a bit.

Redact. I will say, I was on there over 11 years and it took almost 2 hours for it to wipe my comments

Use ViolentMonkey/GreaseMonkey scripts in Firefox.

It will rewrite your comments with gibberish, and then deletes them automatically. Just open your reddit account comments page, turn on the script, and watch, or walk away.

Completely free.

I still use RedReader on occasion on mobile, and then every few days turn the script on from my PC, and repeat as needed
