Yes... 13+ years on Reddit on my main account (different name than my Lemmy account), and it's gone. I've deleted all my posts and thousands of replies. I was active in several communities, including the Linux and open-source communities.

I used a script to edit my post history and replace my posts with random text, and then after a waiting period, delete the posts entirely. It took a couple of days to sift through it all. Then once I was down to zero posts... deleted my account.

Nice idea! Can you share that script?

I'm guessing that it's Power Delete Suite for Reddit.

Thanks! I'll check that out!

I used a Tampermonkey script called Reddit History Sanitiizer: https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/23605-reddit-history-sanitizer/code

You can modify it to do what you want... Power Delete Suite works too. There's a lot more out there, especially now.
