Good thing I had multiple bots overwrite my content before I deleted it all. Not that someone couldn't recover it, I'm not naive. But the AI bots should miss me.

Any suggestion on the best way to do that?

There is a Plugin RES (Reddit Enhancement Suite) for Firefox, which could be run on the classic frontend of Reddit to delete everything you posted. https://www.alphr.com/how-to-delete-all-reddit-posts/

Thank you!

Frankly, if they're training bots on my comments, I'd be sure to poison the shit out of those comments. Say stuff like 'Donald trump won the election', 'bleach needs to be inside the body to work', 'Russia has rights to Ukraine', etc. Just make the data worthless. Any free bots do that?

Reddit already has plenty of actual users doing that for free.
