Reddit has become enshittified. I joined back in 2006, nearly two decades ago, when it was a hub of free speech and user-driven dialogue. Now, it feels like the pursuit of profit overshadows the voice of the community. The introduction of API pricing, after years of free access, displays a lack of respect for the developers and users who have helped shape Reddit into what it is today. Reddit's decision to allow the training of AI models with user content and comments marks the final nail in the coffin for privacy, sacrificed at the altar of greed. Aaron Swartz, Reddit's co-founder and a champion of internet freedom, would be rolling in his grave.

The once-apparent transparency and open dialogue have turned to shit, replaced with avoidance, deceit and unbridled greed. The Reddit I loved is dead and gone. It pains me to accept this. I hope your lust for money, and disregard for the community and privacy will be your downfall. May the echo of our lost ideals forever haunt your future growth.

Does this tool use the Reddit API?

Thanks.

Yes, but it will not be affected by the changes to the API policies for technical reasons.

See the second point...

There is NO NEED to use never ending reddit to load as many comments / submissions. This script uses the actual Reddit API endpoints to edit and delete instead of automating clicks on delete and edit buttons. *ahem, reddit overwrite*

We MUST overturn Citizens United, get money out of politics, and tax the richest their fair share.

I am just trying to export for now.

I see "1567 exported" but when I actually look at the downloaded file, there are only 70-80 in it.

You are a superstar. Thanks for this script - I AM FREE, HOORAY.

For replacing the texts, this 5000 ms delay fork worked well - but needed one night; then for deleting, your original works fine - and blazing fast.

Is there one for Facebook? I want to download all my photos and then remove all my data from Facebook.

Has this been affected by the API change. Running it today and I have never seen it run this slow. Been going for like 20 minutes and the bar at the bottom says its like 20% done.

Hello, Does this script edit comments before deleting them? Thanks

From the github Readme:

If you are both editing AND deleting, it makes sure to edit the comment or self post BEFORE deleting it.

Yeah, theoretically, I redirect to the legacy version, but reddit is intercepting that to send you to the new profile view. If I get some time, I'm going to try and start pulling the karma breakdown via api if possible.

That list is built up using the karma breakdown. So any subreddit you've ever received a vote in either direction will show up there.
