News and Discussions about Reddit
Welcome to !reddit. This is a community for all news and discussions about Reddit.
The rules for posting and commenting, besides the rules defined here for lemmy.world, are as follows:
Rules
Rule 1- No brigading.

YSKs are about self-improvement on how to do things.
Rule 2- No illegal or NSFW or gore content.
**No illegal or NSFW or gore content. **
Rule 3- Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here.
Do not seek mental, medical and professional help here. Breaking this rule will not get you or your post removed, but it will put you at risk, and possibly in danger.
Rule 4- No self promotion or upvote-farming of any kind.
That's it.
Rule 5- No baiting or sealioning or promoting an agenda.
Posts and comments which, instead of being of an innocuous nature, are specifically intended (based on reports and in the opinion of our crack moderation team) to bait users into ideological wars on charged political topics will be removed and the authors warned - or banned - depending on severity.
Rule 6- Regarding META posts.
Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.
Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.
If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.
Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.
Rule 8- All comments should try to stay relevant to their parent content.
Rule 9- Reposts from other platforms are not allowed.
Let everyone have their own content.
:::spoiler Rule 10- Majority of bots aren't allowed to participate here.

PowerDeleteSuite is great. Weird thing, though, and idk if anyone else experienced this, but... my Reddit content is still posted, despite having obfuscated and then deleted using PDS. Anyone else?
For those who are interested in keeping their bookmarks and the subreddits (communities) they're subscribed to before deleting all accounts, I made a free tool to help you store and offload that data.
It's called Reddit Account Manager, and it's 100% free.
You can also use it for Lemmy accounts, of course.
I think reddit is reversing all edits made using powerdeletesuite.
What I did was to sort by comments by top score of all time, and then manually edit the useful ones to paragraphs of gibberish (google "gibberish generator" or something. I left all the snarky comments and low-effort puns alone.
Didn't take more than an hour
I don't mean to give Reddit the benefit of the doubt here but PowerDeleteSuite does have issues with exceeding Reddit's rate limit. If you don't go through and confirm the deletions there likely will be some left intact.
Just wrapped up following your lead and saying goodbye to my account. Lemmy is home.
That would make sense tbh. I might have to do it manually then. How many comments did you have on your account? I wanna gauge approximately how long it'd take for me to go through mine.
The other thing that concerns me is that I deleted my accounts, yet they still showed up (didn't display as "deleted user"), and I was able to log into them.
One more thing: I recently came across this fork of PDS, which is slightly modified and supposedly works (though I've yet to try it): https://lemmy.ml/comment/3831970
Well... I don't remember but I had about 2 years' worth of comments across 3-4 accounts (I usually change accounts every few years), so about 6-8 years' worth of comments.
Just editing the useful comments doesn't take that long honestly - there were a lot of "hold my axe!" or pun chains that I left as is.
Friend, where were you in June?!?!
Cool stuff, though. Now when I switch things up I have a tool!
Stuck in analysis paralysis and my perfectionist ways, unfortunately. 😓
Better late than never, I suppose. And your comment is really encouraging, so thank you. It helps.
