Hello Lemmy!

How do you recommend dealing with your old reddit account/ posts? Should I delete my old posts or just leave them there? Or maybe replace everything with the same text?

I heard that reddit might be restoring deleted posts. Would editing the post and then deleting it or just editing it be the better alternative to just deleting it?

I’ve seen the post that recommends doing all that BEFORE the API shutdown but now it’s after so I figured maybe something had changed about the tactics?

How did you go about it?

    Power Delete Suite, all the way

    Just go here

    Drag the button to your toolbar to create a shortcut

    Go to your profile page on Reddit

    Press the shortcut button you created on the toolbar

    Select options*

    Start deleting!

      • strongly recommend creating a “goodbye” message to edit your posts to before deleting. This makes it extremely difficult for Reddit to restore your data to what it was prior to deleting it.
