    That’s not what I’ve seen. You run PDS, it deletes each 1,000 comment list, then the list appears empty.

      Okay? I don’t know what PDS is… so I definitely don’t run it. I have absolutely deleted more than 1000 items in one go. The app can run delete the first 1k then pull the next 1k automatically in the same singular button press. If you’re app isn’t doing it, then I would presume it’s poorly coded. Here’s a screenshot example of me deleting >2000 items in one go.

        PDS is PowerDeleteSuite, which is the one most people seem to know about.

        There are 4 lists on your profile, New, Top, Hot and Controversial. Each of these has a 1,000 comment limit, so while there may be some overlap you can access well over 1,000 comments from your profile.

        For me, the easy ones to find that it missed were my replies underneath some of my older top comments. The top comment was deleted, but replies underneath with <50 karma remained. These were too old for New, not popular enough for Hot or Top and not Controversial, so they didn’t appear in the lists.

          And Redact is not PDS… It missed no items. I’m still completely unsure why you’re bringing up something that nobody was talking about nor has any of the deficiencies that you mentioned.

            Redact uses the same method, it only gets the comments from your profile. It has the same deficiency.

            The only way to get everything is to use GDPR files, or the Pushshift archive of all of reddit, with links to every comment. At least, that’s the case if you have a significant number of comments over many years, if your account isn’t as big it can be possible that everything will be on the profile.

            Edit: the insidious thing about it all is that you can’t easily find the comments it misses, not without the links. Reddit lulls you into a false sense of security by showing you a blank profile, letting you think you’ve got everything.

              And yet… I provided evidence that it worked just fine. And even explained how it could be done.

                And I explained how that doesn’t mean you’ve got everything. You’re still just getting the comments from your profile, not every comment you’ve ever made.

                You’re being hostile now, when all I’m doing is explaining it to you.

                  The app can run delete the first 1k then pull the next 1k automatically in the same singular button press.

                  As I described 5-6 posts ago.

                  You claim I’m being hostile… But you’re the one droning on and on about a topic that you’re clearly not versed on. I’ve shown you it can be done. And affirmed that I’ve done it correctly. You’re the one that keeps telling me I’m wrong when you have no evidence of it. Wanna talk about hostile? You’re the one sticking words in my mouth about a script that wasn’t brought up in this thread. You didn’t even approach how what I stated couldn’t work (because it does work).

                    Yes, and I explained that it does 1k in New, then 1k in Hot, then Top, then Controversial. In theory, it can get up to 4,000 comments, assuming there are no comments in multiple lists. You got ~2,500.

                    Maybe that’s everything for you, I don’t know. However my account was ~76,000 comments and it defintiely missed most of those. I know this because I opened some of my old Top comments before deleting - the script deleted the Top comment, but the replies underneath were left untouched. I’ve got them now, but I had to use a script that takes GDPR files and scrapes the links from there.

                    You’re the one sticking words in my mouth about a script that wasn’t brought up in this thread.

                    Erm, no. You’re the one who came in talking about your favourite tool, unprompted. Literally the first comment I replied to, the second one in this thread, was talking about PowerDeleteSuite.

                    >One could just mass edit all their comments to contain some garbage with power delete suite.

                    In any case, which tool/script you use doesn’t much matter. They all work the same way on the basic level - even shreddit will just use your profile if you don’t feed it something else.
