Even if you delete it, they just restore it

And i continue not regretting deleting everything i ever posted on Reddit for 17 years when i left them during the APIcalypse fiasco (yes, i imagine it’s all archived somewhere anyway, but at least it’s not there for them to use at this time)

The reddit API can only go back 1000 comments (or pages of comments, 25 per page, I forgot which). I went back to about 2019 fairly well, but none of the scrubbing scripts really accomplished anything beyond that. How were you able to delete all your comments and posts?

It’s been a couple of years so don’t recall the details or the name of the thing, but it was something that went through every comment you ever posted and overwrote it, even past the 1000 messages limit, but got crippled after the API stuff actually got implemented, no idea if it still exists or if it’s usable
