You'll need to update the praw.Reddit() parameters and set booleans to True based on what you want to have cleared.
This also overwrites your comments with nonsense content seeing as Reddit doesn't really delete your comments if nobody forces them
Sorry about the amateurish Python, this isn't my go-to language

username="XXXXXX",

The Switch was an iterative improvement on the Wii U and while I wish they called it Nintendo Snap (how I heard the new sound effect) instead of drab numbering, I'd argue there are similar iterative innovations here--some likely to compete with the Steam Deck--without losing what's working so far
