A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.
Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

Does changing your comments to or replacing them with garbled text work if reddit wont delete?
Seems like it worked for me. Last I checked my deleted account's comments are still up and display replaced text.
I overwrote my comments with a message that clearly states why I overwrote my comments and deleted my account.
This is great. If we coul do it somehow automatically, it would greatly damage the platform.
There is a way, the Power Delete Suite script can overwrite all your comments with any message you give it, and then follow it up with mass deletion if you wish, only catch is that the original doesn't account for reddits current rate limiting and so misses stuff , but this fork of it seemed to do the trick for me

That's probably how they detect it in the first place. A "normale" user won't delete hundreds of comments in a row.
There are programs for that! Even an app AFAIK, but sadly I don't remember the good ones right now. Maybe someone could pitch in and suggest?
I was thinking of editing mine to be links to information about Lemmy.
