In the past we had the ability, and ive done this before. To mass edit my reddit comments so they no longer can use my data for profit. As of earlier this month, reddit has removed the ability to do this if youve been banned

While we have you here, how did you mass edit your comments ? I’ve seen a few paid services but I really don’t want to pay…

this is the best way to do it
be sure to uncheck remove submissions and remove comments check edit, and place the message you want to overwrite all your comments with. Best to not make it something mods would take down tho
Thank you ! Works wonders 🙂 is there a point to editing instead of just deleting, though ? I’m doing both just in case but I don’t know if that’s useful
If you just delete the comments without editing them Reddit will reinstate the comment and just put a [deleted] tag in place of the username because Reddit backs up all comments and posts.
My understanding is that editing the comments creates a new version of this backup and therefore the old comment can’t be reinstated.
So it’s basically undermines reddits process of retaining information if all the information is tainted. It’s a big fuck you to reddit.
That would have been nice to know for the past 7 Reddit accounts I’ve deleted without doing this 😂 but I guess it’s alright.
( I used to make a new account every year and empty out the previous one. This time is the last, though I may keep using it logged out just because of the amount of information on there )
