Hello everyone.

With the API changes, I, too, was planing to delete my reddit account. I am still intending on doing so, but I wanted to purge all my content (mostly comments, some even helpful) from that site, before i finally pull the plug on my account.

I used PowerDeleteSuite to edit and delete all my comments, and it successfully edited and deleted about 2000 comments I made.

Visiting my reddit profile (either logged in or from an incognito browser tab, old reddit as well as new) shows that I don’t have any comments or posts.

However, I decided to have reddit provide me with all my stored data, as per the GDPR. This data reveals that I made about 6000 comments over the years, and about 2000 of those comments reflect the edits I made using PDS. But the remaining 4000 comments are still unedited and can be reached via the url in the GDPR spreadsheet.

Is there a tool that allows mass editing all my comments based on a spreadsheet containing URLs to the comments, as tools like PDS are unable to find the remaining ~4000 comments?

        I am currently successfully using shredit to edit my comments using my GDPR export and everything seems to work fine, I occasionaly can see debug info

        1mCouldn’t edit - comment was probably removed by a moderator

        which appears on comments I already deleted using PowerDeleteSuite, so it seems shreddit is now already able to handle deleted comments :)

      Thank you so much, this sounds exactly like what I was looking for.

      I’ve previously seen people mentioning the name, but googling it lead me to a webservice that is currently defunct due to the API limits.
