I see other commenters who, before they left reddit, replaced all their comments with an explanation of why they’re leaving. What’s an easy way to do this?

I used redact today.

[–] Reitoei@lemmy.ml 2 points 2 years ago

This is what I did.

check out Power Delete Suite

I’m not exactly an expert on GDPR, but doesn’t reddit basically have to delete your content if you ask them?

[–] Clinodactyl@lemmy.ml 1 points 2 years ago

Yeah, if a request was made under Article 17 of the GDPR they would have to remove it. They can only keep that data for specific and relevant reasons and I'd be hard-pressed to find a reason for them to keep my memes and shitposts.

That's usually reserved for things like previous employers to keep certain data for tax/finance reasons etc.

Is there an android app to do this?

[–] clowndotfire@lemmy.world 4 points 2 years ago (1 children)

I don't think an app exists.
You can try with your Browser (Firefox if others don't work) and Power Delete Suite - installation/ running is the image at the bottom.

Thanks!

[–] Gdub@lemmy.world 1 points 2 years ago

Yes, I just used one called redact. It deleted all my posts and comments.
