I took part in the Reddit blackout a month ago, and accessed Reddit through Apollo. After the blackout I looked at Reddit a handful of times and then let my association with Reddit die with Apollo.

I haven’t been there since, but now I feel as though I should have deleted my account of 7 years, that way everything I ever contributed will be gone.

However, to accomplish this as you all know I should delete all my posts first and edit all comments. I was wondering what people used to do this. I want everything to read “Edit: moved to Lemmy”.

I’m sure others migrating here have the same question. Thanks.

Really? I used PowerDeleteSuite myself, but I did it a few days before they locked up the API. My understanding was that PowerDeleteSuit needed API access to work.

I had read the same thing, but it did work for me a couple of days ago. YMMV obviously.

I was planning on deleting the rest soon; I can post an update if you're interested.

Yeah, please let me know how that goes. I'm curious.

Are you a moderator for any subreddits? I've heard that API access is still a thing if you're a mod, so maybe that's why?

Well, on paper, I am a mod, but the subs are like less than 10 subs big or so, so I doubt it's that.

From my understanding it doesn't matter- you can just make your own sub on the spot. There's not (presently) a limit on subscribers or anything like that.

That's good intel, then. Good to know.
