PowerDeleteSuite VS bulk-downloader-for-reddit

You can incrementally delete your posts and interactions while backing them up. Once done, you can request your user data to verify that deletion has taken place, and then cancel the account.

Reddit has hamfistedly broken whatever value it once had as a platform for long form discussion, with the interesting and valuable fringe, hobbyist, and obscure niche forums having been banned or moderated into inane milquetoast. Now, its value seems primarily as a customer support resource for companies outside the US, or as a platform for attracting clicks on other platforms.

Reddit's going the way of MySpace. Unless you like burning money, this IPO is one to skip. All the things that made Reddit great, once, are gone now. There are no compelling reasons to use it; it's slow, intrusive, disrespectful to user privacy, performatively moralizing and preachy, caters to the worst sort of moderation and curation power dynamics, and serves no relevant purpose in the ecosystem of the modern internet. The best and only value of Reddit comes from older archives of scraped content now used as training data for AI.

I would suggest not just deleting your account. Doing so leaves all your contributed content, it just changes your name to [deleted].

This will allow you to remove your contributions, and delete your account.

Have you tried PowerDeleteSuite yet?

This should work https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite

There is Power Delete Suite which can do both bulk editing and deleting.

Been seeing Power Delete Suite being used a lot lately.

Until now, I ran a script every day using bulk-downloader-for-reddit to archive about ten subreddits. It usually took less than an hour each time, even when he had to download video files of a few hundred MB.

Look into bdfr, it's a cli reddit downloader.

I'm with you! I've already mass edited all my comments on both and removed all my submissions on this account, and my other/older one. Just waiting on bdfr to finish pulling all of my saved things for me, then I'll delete both. I may just be a tiny drop in the user ocean, but some of my posts definitely helped others and contributed useful things.

FWIW I just backed up my sub with bulk-downloader-for-reddit : https://www.reddit.com/r/DataHoarder/comments/1479c7b/historic_reddit_archives_ongoing_archival_effort/ -> https://github.com/aliparlakci/bulk-downloader-for-reddit

A GDPR export should have all the data, but they’re taking their time processing. An alternative is to use an archiving tool like BDFR. Unfortunately, it’s limited to 1000 posts due to API limitations.

r/DataHoarder was the big reason I started using Reddit regularly. While I don't speak for all of them, many will suggest bdfr or HTTrack for all your scraping needs.

I’m going to delete my Reddit account soon to further the protest, since by this point I don’t use it much anymore. I already backed up my entire post history using this tool since there are some important memories there for me, so I basically have nothing to lose now.
