      PowerDeleteSuite doesn’t get everything, particularly on old accounts. PDS uses your New, Hot, Top & Controversial lists on your profile - however reddit has been limiting the length of these lists for a few months now.

      For example, if you have a link to one of your older Top comments, you might see a bunch of low karma replies underneath that PDS didn’t touch.

      The only real way to get everything is to do a GDPR request and use the links in there. Shreddit can do this (in particular the github version, the website charges $15 for the feature), however even then it will panic and stop part way through. I’ve had to edit the files and split them down, and even then I haven’t yet finished. Shreddit uses the API though, so it won’t work after 1 July.

      Also reddit have been restoring some comments evert couple days - you might find some that PDS removed have returned. Supposedly this is to do with how reddit’s CDN structure works, but that may also just be an excuse. I wouldn’t be surprised if reddit tries to claim ownership of everyone’s comments and restores most if not all of them, so those google searches might start working again.

      I’m waiting to do it because I want to leave no trace, and any closed subs are unable to have comments changed. Also, waiting til the last minute because I’m not trying to dead mod one of my subs; I hate Reddit, buts it’s a smallish sub (30k) and I don’t want to just leave it. Only two of the five mods are active, and he’s thinking of leaving as well, so I guess we’re gonna have to mod search?? At least get one person in and then dip.

        That’s the problem. Really you should do what you can to sabotage it and get the users over onto the fed. X

          I agree. It’s just hard to do that to people I’ve been in a community with for 10+ years. Reddit won’t even notice that sub getting deaded, but the users will. The only nodding we had to do was repost bots and very rare racist stuff (really not even relevant to anything either lol)
