What tools are people using to delete Reddit comments? (lemmy.ml)

So it's finally that time, to delete all the shit from my former Reddit account, but I'm having a hard time getting the tools to work that I've seen mentioned a lot.

Power Delete Suite: only operated on about 20% of my posts/comments. I'm pretty sure it didn't implement any rate limiting, and Reddit's rate limiting is dropping 80% of PDS's requests.

Redact: I can use it to log in to Reddit just fine, but after I accept granting the app access, it just spins forever.

Several forks of PDS have added rate limiting. I used this one and I didn't see any drops. Though it's quite slow with its 5 second delay.
