It’s true, though. I am very guilty of it. I have gotten better at it but 100% of the time I’d click the comments first no matter what. If it seemed worthy of my attention I’d click the link. If it seemed too far-fetched I’d click the link.

I’m realizing now that it’s mostly because I don’t want to wait the 0.5 seconds for another page to load (ridiculous on my part) and possibly deal with paywalls.

Glad to be of help! Let me know your experience with it.

I ended up using shreddit, a Rust remake of an unmaintained Python script (https://github.com/x89/Shreddit). I had to keep running it over and over, but, I think that was the Reddit API’s fault. If you end up using it, I recommend running it in a loop unless you want to keep running the same command over and over.

Anyway, it deleted all posts and comments, but messages in my inbox are still there. I’m fine with that for now but eventually want to clear that out I think.

If you’re thinking of doing this I’d recommend running it before the API changes since the script uses it.

Thanks, I’ll take a look around. Redact looks good but I’d rather something FOSS if I can find it. If I find anything I’ll post here.

Any suggestions on tools to use?
