  • It is a python script, you need the praw library. The client id’s are given in your profile after you create an app.

      
    import praw
    
    reddit = praw.Reddit(client_id='yourid',
    	client_secret='yoursecret',
    	password='your password',
    	user_agent='deletes my comments',
    	username='your username')
    
    redditor = reddit.redditor("your username")
    
    for comment in redditor.comments.top(limit=10000):
    	comment.edit("deleted")
    	comment.delete()
    
    

    You can edit and delete everything in the same pass but I prefer to overwrite my comments first and give time for the cache machines to register my new garbage before deleting with another pass.









  • What did you use? I was thinking about doing the same.

    for comment in redditor.comments.top(limit=10000):
    	comment.edit("deleted")
    #	comment.delete()
    

    You can edit and delete everything at once but I prefer to overwrite my comments first and let the old cache machines fill up with my new garbage before deleting.


  • Linux

    I swear that the last time I’ve ever shouted at a machine was when I was installing the latest release of Windows Server and I was unable to find the most basics elements on their graphic interface. It’s like I was a baby in a toypark. And they have the guts to call it a server. I’ve seen enough dark patterns in their install steps to make any sane person go mad. Windows is leaking bad faith though all his interface. You know what I want to do and you purposefully stop me from doing it. You are not an ally and not even a tool.

    I tried Macosx years ago too, but from now on I will only use any reasonable brand of linux.



  • As I click your history I see that you have pages and pages of allegations about the tiananmen events.

    I’m not surprised, what I’m surprised about is to find people like you in the main instance of lemmy. I thought that they were contained into the lemmygrad sub but I was wrong, you somehow made your way to the mainstream meeting point.

    I have no intention of discussing with the chinese Fox News.

    AI will come up with technological solutions to societal problems so effective and straightforward that it will raise the floor for everybody.

    • “Please scientists, tell us what to do to overcome global warming”
    • “You need to reduce your consumption, there is no other way”
    • “Wait, what? What do you mean?”
    • “We mean that you need to purchase less stuff”
    • “No, there must be an error, are they crazy? We need a real solution! Let’s ask the AI instead”

    • “Oh, AI, please tell us how we can overcome the challenge of global warming!”
    • computingYou need to reduce your consumption
    • “Nonono… wait a sec… opens the box… Look, it’s these damned scientists again!”





  • Honestly we’d better picking another main instance from scratch. lemmy.ml is federated with a cesspool of russian shills (lemmygrad) and we don’t need this, we really don’t need them. Nevermind how many people can register on our new instance, more redditors can start new instances as time goes one and still connect to the communities (subs) on our new one. In a way we don’t completely escape federation.

    The bonus is that if the admins of the new instance go reddit-crazy, we always have the possibility of picking another instance as the main one.
