Know any bots or ways to perma delete all Reddit comments?

Reddit has backups, permanently isn’t an option.

yep they fuckin got us

but it's not like our posts are safe here either. This is the world we live in now.

But here, the API is open and I can run my own copy and train my own LLM same as anyone else. It's not one asshole who decides to whom and for how much he'll sell the content we all gave him for free, so he can justify his $193 million paycheck.

Does that really matter? The owner of a given instance can still choose to sell everything on their server, no?

We have to either make AI illegal or make it accountable by giving references to where it gets its data so it can properly cite its sources.

They're not multiple though, edit it and then delete it and it's gone. They disabled all the tools to do it though so it's manually or nothing now.

Damn. You outsmarted them well paid data jockeys. And assuming your edits change the actual comment and don’t simply hide the original.

I could be an idiot too though. Reddit might have been running this whole shit show on the original version of the database system and be upselling to buyers.

They just reload a previous cached comment, doesn’t matter how many times you edit or delete, it’s all logged and backed up.

I used redact.dev to mass edit all my comments, worked pretty well. Problem is that if you mass delete, they'll restore them pretty quick, but so far they haven't reverted my edits.

This is what I used awhile ago to delete/edit all my comments multiple times.

Back when I deleted all my comments, I was told I could claim to be in Europe and make a request citing the European law that Reddit has to follow. I think Reddit had a page where you could make the request, but of course it was hard to find.
