As a PSA, remember that the API changes don’t only impact third party apps & accessibility tools, but also your ability to bulk delete or modify your Reddit history. If you intend to delete or modify your previous Reddit posts, be sure to run a tool like Power Delete Suite today before the shut down.
Also remember that as Subreddits went from private to public, there may have been posts and comments you attempted to delete but couldn’t until they went public again. So if you ran these tools, you might want to run it again to make sure you got everything.
I was on Reddit for 12 years and cleared out the old posts and comments today. It was weird seeing my profile with zero comments or posts. Hello, Lemmy!
I was nearly up to 13 years I was hoping to take all my comments with me but I didn’t get my download link yet. I’ll just have to bulk erase it today. So much for all our past wasted and enjoyed time.
I made a backup with this free tool: https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
I then edited/delete all of my posts
