A Fediverse community for open-ended, thought provoking questions

Rules: (interactive)

1) Be nice and; have fun

Doxxing, trolling, sealioning, racism, and toxicity are not welcomed in AskLemmy. Remember what your mother said: if you can't say something nice, don't say anything at all. In addition, the site-wide Lemmy.world terms of service also apply here. Please familiarize yourself with them

2) All posts must end with a '?'

This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

3) No spam

Please do not flood the community with nonsense. Actual suspected spammers will be banned on site. No astroturfing.

4) NSFW is okay, within reason

Just remember to tag posts with either a content warning or a [NSFW] tag. Overtly sexual posts are not allowed, please direct them to either [email protected] or [email protected]. NSFW comments should be restricted to posts tagged [NSFW].

5) This is not a support community.

It is not a place for 'how do I?', type questions. If you have any questions regarding the site itself or would like to report a community, please direct them to Lemmy.world Support or email [email protected]. For other questions check our partnered communities list, or use the search function.

6) No US Politics.

Please don't post about current US Politics. If you need to do this, try [email protected] or [email protected]

Reminder: The terms of service apply here too.

How do I delete/overwrite my reddit posts without paying $20 for shreddit? (reddthat.com)

I've always meant to do this, but after hearing about the AI thing I want to get it done. Is there no free solution? I have too much history to clear manually.

EDIT: PowerDeleteSuite did the trick, thanks!

Yep. Do you remember seeing comments/posts where the username is listed as [deleted]?

If you haven’t deleted your account yet, you can edit your posts to be blank/spam, then delete your account. If you deleted your account it’s too late to edit your comments.

That being said, if reddit is concerned with keeping old comments to sell for AI training, I’m not sure this will stop them. This will stop other visitors to reddit from reading what you wrote, though.

I didn’t need to do this (I rarely posted) so I have no recommendation for tools to help, sorry.
