    I made a script that changes all my old comments to gibberish, but I haven’t used it yet. I can’t decide if it’s a good idea or not. I’m not saying that my old comments are extremely useful, but I wouldn’t want to prevent people from reading or having context or any help I’ve given.

      They will simply roll your edits back.

      Dont give them the clicks

      Just move on

      Maybe delete your account

        All deleting your account does is remove your username from your comments while also removing your ability to delete or edit said comments. It makes more sense to keep it active so you have more control over your data.

          And gives you a reason to stop visiting the site.

          The data stopped belonging to you as soon as you posted it*

          •and if reddit actually complies•

          Yeah, reddit is restoring bulk edits made using the api but you can still go to your user profile, sort by top scoring comments, and manually change your top 10-20 comments

              So you used it to only edit instead of delete? If it’s possible I might give it a shot

                Yep you can just edit all comments without deleting. I used to use the original version, but it didn’t work this last time due to their rate-limiting. Using that forked version with the delay worked, but it took a long time.

                  Good to know, I got both versions downloaded here but still didn’t try using it. I’ll give them a read to see if they have the option to use a set of sentences I give it instead of turning every message into the same one so it won’t trip reddit’s filters or something (or maybe I can implement it if I have the time).
