This is a great tool to overwrite your posts with random words and a link to get others to consider doing so as well.
Once my comments are all gone, I’m gonna delete the posts too.
EDIT: …and I’m perma-banned :). Guess they don’t like mentioning lemmy.whynotdrs.org (“… attempting to pillage the community to start another”). Yeah, that’s kinda the point. Buh-bye rexxit.
One caution I would have about removing all the reddit backstory is that if someone uninformed goes to look into things they’re going to start with reddit since that’s where it all began, and without some record of fuckery, investigations, and findings they will only see what the compromised redditors want them to see (ie. it’s all over, you missed it, etc.)
Does the app you’re pointing folks to make it easy to selectively keep some of the comments or would it be a laborious message-by-message deletion if you wanted to just remove things with identifying details, etc.?
Yeah, I thought about that too. The tool allows selecting which posts/comments to update or delete via keyword and date filters I believe.
I didn’t myself ever post any groundbreaking DD on SStonk, so I had no big reservations about nuking my own comments from there at least :p
