i don't suppose you'd send it to me when you're done?

i've been looking for a script that adds to comments rather than overwriting them, so i can put "this user has moved to lemmy" without losing any information

PowerDeleteSuite might work for that, I've been using it for awhile to edit all and delete comments. I'll try and see if I can edit all without deleting....

EDIT: Yes you can edit all comments without deleting.

Here's the link to it: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

EDIT again: There's a new fork of that project that adds a 5s delay to help it work better. The original is now hampered by reddit's bot detection stuff.

oh nice, thank you. i could have sworn i checked reddact, shreddit and pds, but i guess not

i think i'll be doing this tonight

edit; i may be dumb, but i can't figure out how to do this. for clarity, what i'm hoping to have is:

original comment text, something witty but too helpful/productive to permanently delete

due to recent actions by reddit, this user has moved to lеmmy. come join me at join-lemmy(dot)org, or try кbin, squаbbles, or tildеs

pds can edit comments on mass, but only by overwriting; not adding to
