Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy.

Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.

      Same here, 10 years, over 600k comment karma, all power deleted.

        Is there an easy way to delete or rewrite all my comments in bulk? I looked up something when ask this started, but the resources I found were too complicated

          Power Delete Suite… but it only works from the comment lists on your profile on old.reddit, which are limited, so it may miss some.

          There is a script that’s supposed to run through the comment IDs from the GDPR export, but I haven’t managed to run it successfully (yet).

              If you delete comments, they still exist (but are hidden from the public) so reddit can still sell the content/conversation to 3rd parties, eg for training language models. If you edit the comments first, it makes the conversation nonsensical and reddits “product” is less valuable

                Ok yes! How do I do this? I’m decently technically savvy, but the last time I looked this up, it was more than I was willing to mess with outside of paid hours
