  • Fair warning: if you use a script or bot to edit comments, most of your subreddits will ban you for doing so. They apparently either have tools to detect this, or else the users left behind are sensitive to it and are reporting it.

    Source: I did this, and am now banned from my favorite communities on reddit.

    Upside: I don’t care, because I’m not going back, anyway, and now most of my comments have been overwritten.

    Downside: The script I used missed editing TONS of comments, so I ended up editing and deleting hundreds of comments by hand anyway. (I commented a LOT, apparently! 🤣)





  • Yeah, I found this solution, too, and implemented it!

    And then a handful of subs perma-banned me for spamming my pro-fediverse replacement message that I edited into my comments. Still worth it, I’m leaving anyway, right? BUT a whole, whole bunch of comments were left unaffected by PowerDeleteSuite’s script, so here I am, editing scores (hundreds? thousands?) of messages by hand so I don’t piss off/make more work for more mods by using a script again. 🤣 Also, I didn’t really think about how it would look in some of the supportive communities when my compassionate replies turned into a fediverse advertisement. Oops.
