How can I completely wipe my Reddit account? (lemmy.world)

I'm a fully mobile user (Android), so that limits my options. I don't just want to delete my account but also delete my posts and comments.

I was mostly shitposting but still had some 200k Karma so it could pinch Reddit a bit to remove that but it won't hurt users or Google search since I wasn't doing anything 'productive' or 'helpful'.

I used redact.dev. Worked great on macOS.

Not available for mobile. ☹️ I mean, maybe it is for iPhones if it's on Mac OS but I have Android.

Thanks for the tip though. I'm sure it will be useful to someone also interested in this topic.

Good luck. All my shit there is wiped. Sucks, but no other choice.

You can use PowerDeleteSuite (https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite), just follow the instructions here: https://codepen.io/j0be/full/WMBWOW/

You want Power Delete Suite. You can filter what you wish to delete by karma, gilding, subreddit, whatever. You can also batch-edit your posts rather than deleting if you want to leave a little message on the way out.

I too would like to know this. Somebody recommended shreddit and I tried that, it said it would delete all my visible comment history, which it appeared to do, but then later a whole new batch of older comments became visible.

That sounds like it has some limit. Like, it can delete in a bulk of max 100 comments, for example.

Still better than doing it one by one.

Could be but in that case the documentation was misleading.

Hmmm, have you tried using the website in desktop mode to run power delete suite? Could be worth a shot.
