Don't just delete your comments, use a script to over write them.
I used power delete suite and edited the comments to read, "This content was removed by its creator in protest of Reddit's planned API changes effective July 2023."
My comments are processing to do the same now.
Thousands of comments, so gonna take a while.
As another user pointed out, Reddit started reverting the changes made by scripts like Shreddit. Users that had previously overwritten their content this way must check if it's still gone.
If the sub was locked, it seems the changes to the comments didn't take.
Now some subs are starting to consider mass changes as spam, but for my own account I am down to a trickle I can edit by hand easily enough.
Yeah, I got a few spam warnings when I swept my account with Redact, even though I was removing content instead of posting it.
That's true, but it is also happening with subreddits that were most definitely open and where users had previously confirmed the comment or post was edited.
Give me some scripts dude. I will turn into a Reddit terrorist.
