No API required. Kinda slow, but just leave it running overnight if you have a lot. Make sure you run it from https://old.reddit.com/u/me/overview

Protip: don't do this.

Send a GDPR request instead. Use a VPN if necessary.

Keywords:

Article 17 GDPR. Right to erasure ('right to be forgotten')

and, if necessary:

Framstags freundlicher Folterfragebogen

They will tell you you have to delete it yourself.
Comments are technically not necessarily covered under GDPR after they are decoupled from your account and they have no knowledge that it contains other personal data. (which they do not have to check by themselves, that would be ridiculous anyways)

So yes, you do need to run PowerDeleteSuite and then delete your account via account settings (which then triggers deletion in accordance of Article 17)

Is... Is this a correct translation?

Yes. It missed the joke though. Framstag is the combination of Friday and Saturday in German. It is used for advertising by a store chain named Penny.

So what’s the joke then?

German humour 🤷‍♂️

Lol I was waiting for them to explain the joke before this would inevitably be my reply.
