I’ve always meant to do this, but after hearing about the AI thing I want to get it done. Is there no free solution? I have too much history to clear manually.

EDIT: PowerDeleteSuite did the trick, thanks!

    Wait, if I delete my reddit account, do my comments still exist?

    I’ve forgotten how reddit works since last summer

      Your comments will still exist even if you delete your account. Your username will just show “deleted” but the comment still exists. You need to edit or manually delete the comments if you want them removed.

      Yes, unless they’ve recently changed something. Folks will see something like [deleted] for your username, but the text is still there. And indexable by exploitative AI companies. And indexable by exploitative ad companies.

      Worse, you, having deleted your account, no longer control those posts and comments and can no longer affect their fate.
