I tried to set up shreddit to clear out an alt, I've created the app and it exists on my account but it's completely blocked.
My guess is they aren't allowing any new 3rd party app tokens to be approved.

Yeah I'm not deleting my accounts. I want to maintain control over everything, and throw a legal hammer if they continue to restore things.
I've been using shreddit on my main for nearly 2 weeks now, trying to get through 76,000 lines of comments using the GDPR files - PowerDeleteSuite and most other tools just use your old.reddit.com profile, specifically the New, Hot, Top & Controversial lists, which are each limited to 1,000 comments. You won't get everything with those.
However I, too, have been noticing comments popping back up on my profile after deleting them with PowerDeleteSuite. Some several times over.
Yet I haven't noticed anything coming back that's been deleted directly from the comment link using shreddit (although I've only tested a small sample). I finished on my main this morning, just in time. I haven't yet had a GDPR reply for any other account, however, they've blatantly been delaying them until after the API change goes through.
I think PowerDeleteSuite might continue working afterwards though, for as long as old.reddit.com works. I don't think this uses the API, it just scrapes the page. Hopefully someone will come along and modify the scripts to take GDPR files when they're eventually delivered, and edit/delete comments directly. That is, unless they nuke old.reddit.com, which I'm expecting will happen sooner rather than later.
