I want to get to either rewrite all my old reddit comments or delete them (prefer to rewrite them all to an insulting message to reddit) before all third party apps are effectively removed on 01 July.

I vaguely remember there was a way to do this.

Does anybody know?

if the thread is locked/archived you might not be able to delete/edit.

That’s not it. The account was 100% empty and the stuff that’s now back, I can delete again. That said - it might absolutely be some server caching issue on reddit’s side. It’s definitely fishy though.

they are 100% doing fishy things that are not right, the archive thing is kind of old news though.

edit instead of deleting, I don’t think they can restore edits.
