yeah but my peeps gone like 20 years ago!
use the PDS fork with the 5 second delay. it'll take forever but it'll get the job done!
I miss IRC if you want the truth.
I got banned from r/softwaregore for editing my comment ... if that counts
I only had 4,000 comments and it ran for about 6 hours for me. It's because the fork adds a 5-second delay between each request and frankly that's the only way you're going to get every message edited. You can try resorting your comments by top controversial etc but I didn't find that to help much.

I have a different perspective because I actually became active on Reddit for a particular lapidary marketplace - not r/gemstones. but I saw r/gemstones go from a sub extolling the science and beauty of gemstones to a marketplace full of shady dealers trying to disguise their hawking of badly cut stones with sketchy origins. posts that often had to be removed by the mods when the OP wouldn't take no for an answer.
I find this line of thinking to be flawed. If race can be excluded as a factor for consideration, how is the most qualified people getting ahead a bad thing? I couldn't get into Harvard even if I had good blackmail on the Dean. Maybe I don't understand the argument but that's my take.
this is my favorite website now.
I'll be honest I almost didn't subscribe because I had already unsubscribed from the Reddit version for not participating in the continued protest. but then I read this!
RIF is working for me.
