PowerDeleteSuite VS reddit-user-to-sqlite

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.

https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite , this and other tools make it easy to manage.

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.

https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite works very well indeed.

https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite did the job if you have similar problem try this.

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.

If you know how to write python, https://github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-to-sqlite can be twisted to do what you want.

This tool can download all post and comments by a specified user. Since the tool uses the API that's about to go bye-bye, it's limited to the most recent 1000 posts and 1000 comments and will stop working at the end of the month. This article explains the set-up very simply. It took me less than 5 minutes to set it up and download my post history.

This tool was effective and surprisingly fast for me, but took some tinkering to get working. Easier if one is already handy with Python and pip/pipx. YMMV.

Does PDS get around the 1000 item limit for its backups? I tried reddit-user-to-sqlite and it's missing about the first two years worth of my comments. If not, the only other option seems to be to "request my data" through reddit itself.

I see someone else has already filed one about saving the context.

I got nervous that the API changes would be the end of Apollo, and thus largely the end of my Reddit use. So, I made a way to export all of my post and comment data into a searchable SQLite archive:

https://github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-to-sqlite/

It can pull your recent activity from the API, but also has support for pulling data from a GDPR archive (a feature I'm very proud of).

I wrote a tool that pulls all your posts and comments into a searchable SQLite database: https://github.com/xavdid/reddit-user-to-sqlite
