      One could just mass edit all their comments to contain some garbage with power delete suite. Of course they would have to hurry, as that relies on the reddit api for making the edits.

        PowerDeleteSuite only gets the comments shown in your profile, which is limited to 1000 comments in each list: New, Top, Hot & Controversial. You need to do a data request which contains CSV files with links to all your comments, then you can feed that into something like shreddit, in order to get everything.

            Yes, because there will be older comments that aren’t in your New list but are in the other lists. However, if you’d saved a link to one of your older Top comments, you’d probably find there are still replies of yours underneath with low but positive karma.

        • If one was to delete the top 1000 comments, then would the older ones be visible?

          I had separate accounts for pretty much every community, so they didn’t have too many comments.

            No, the list will appear empty.

            At least, until reddit restores some of the comments some time later. That’s also been happening a few times over.

            I wouldn’t hurry to delete your account, so that you can supervise this.

            Edit: if your accounts have fewer than 1000 comments each then you’d probably see everything on your profile page.

            • My accounts only had a couple of hundred posts each, so that didn’t turn out to be an issue. I haven’t yet deleted them, but the edited comments haven’t been restored after a week or so.

                That’s good then. I’ve had comments popping up in the different lists over time. I either ran PDS again or just manually edited them.

                I haven’t seen anything restored from the GDPR files I used with shreddit, but then I’ve only grabbed a handful out of something like 76,000 comments over 12 years.

              • Okay? I don’t know what PDS is… so I definitely don’t run it. I have absolutely deleted more than 1000 items in one go. The app can run delete the first 1k then pull the next 1k automatically in the same singular button press. If you’re app isn’t doing it, then I would presume it’s poorly coded. Here’s a screenshot example of me deleting >2000 items in one go.

                  PDS is PowerDeleteSuite, which is the one most people seem to know about.

                  There are 4 lists on your profile, New, Top, Hot and Controversial. Each of these has a 1,000 comment limit, so while there may be some overlap you can access well over 1,000 comments from your profile.

                  For me, the easy ones to find that it missed were my replies underneath some of my older top comments. The top comment was deleted, but replies underneath with <50 karma remained. These were too old for New, not popular enough for Hot or Top and not Controversial, so they didn’t appear in the lists.

  • i got my account banned and then i kept sending harassing messages via appeals. the last one was “i hope you have to suck dick for food when reddit goes public and the stock price drops” and next thing i know my permanent ban was removed.

        One downside is that you have no control over your content when banned and using new reddit. If you load your profile in new reddit, it shows nothing, regardless of whether you’re logged in.

        Right now you can go into old reddit and still edit/delete your comments. However it’s likely that reddit will kill old reddit on 1 July, if not before long after. After that it will be very difficult for banned users to control their content.
