They’ll undo it. Go look at mine that shouldn’t exist.
There’s violentmonkey scripts that overwrite and delete them, and they stay gone, I’ve been using them for years.
They might still be in AI training data sets, but they’re not on my profile.
The only PITA thing is that you get rate limited, so doing your initial batch of deletions could a while, then just run it semi-regularly.
I used a script too, scrubbed years of stuff. It’s all back.
You might have just let it run past the rate limit.
After it limits you, the script looks like it’s still running, but if you hit refresh, you’ll time out, and nothing past when you’re actually limited, got deleted. It’ll be several minutes before you can start running it again.
I’ve done this for many hundreds of comments.
Every once in awhile, I’ve had a few batches of comments reappear that I can’t associate with a rate limiting error, but I have yet to find comments that come back a third time.
I guess YMMV, but that’s what my experience has been.
No, it was gone. The only thing that was left were relatively recent critiques I was commenting before I left. They took the time to fish my stuff out of old backups. Last I looked the critiques were there too so it wasn’t just a blanket restoration either.
I’d be flattered of it weren’t so fucking creepy.

You could piss off the admins big time and they’ll ban and suspend all your accounts using advanced methods to connect them across different emails, and not a single thing you ever wrote on there will ever be visible to the world again. Ask me how I know.

Alternatively, sell your account to spammers, and they’ll get your account banned in no time. Your comments get deleted, you’ll get paid for it, and Reddit becomes worse for everyone. I see no downsides in this arrangement.

Can you make them think I’m you? I’d be very appreciative.
