shreddit VS Shreddit

I am glad I trashed my reddit posts/comments before deleting accounts with shreddit [0].

After you get your GDPR file from Reddit (takes a cpl of weeks) via [ https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request ] I would highly suggest visiting the rust version of shreddit [ https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit ] and pointing it at your GDPR data to fully delete it from Reddits servers. Normal deletes only delete the last 1000 entries, your post and comment history will look empty but if you do a Google search [ site:reddit.com ] you'll find old entries that weren't covered by that (they will appear in your GDPR data).

For example: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

another tool also named shreddit (not shreddit.com) uses the GDPR file - https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

You should do a GDPR request from reddit. Within a week or so they should send you a .cvs file containing all your data, including links to all your comments. After that arrives, run it through the Rust fork of Shreddit, which can edit and/or delete ALL your stuff in one go.

Since when does Shreddit cost money? The source code is up on Github with full releases. So weird to make things up about this.

Some scripts like https://github.com/x89/Shreddit look promising, and I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on it just once I make sure my whitelist IDs are good. However, it's probably not thorough enough to hit all my content. My reddit data has over 68,000 comments.

this may no longer work do to the recent API changes, but you can do this easily with shreddit

Just for the sake of general interest, scripts like this already exist (and that one has an option to edit posts to add lorem ipsum nonsense).

I recommend x89/Shreddit

Ah, it’s not so bad. I recommend x89/Shreddit on GitHub to remove your comments, as it edits them first, and then deletes.

If any subreddit mods read this, thank you for doing this. I understand that taking down something that you poured so much energy and effort into is a tough decision. But it's for the best.

I used shreddit[1] to remove my account's posts/comments. It's infuriating to read this line:

> Back in April, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman told The New York Times that the site wanted to start getting paid for helping to train some of the big AI chatbots.

I hope this protest shows the leadership that users have the power.
