Any good scripts that will mass edit your reddit comments?
I want to change all my reddit comments to say I'm migrating to Lemmy/Kbin. I think this is more effective than deleting comments, as I've heard rumors reddit is restoring deleted comments. I can't find a good script to do that. What's everyone else using to do that? Thanks!
EDIT: Thanks everyone! I decided to use Power Delete Suite. it didn't get all the comments but got most. Super easy to use. That felt really good.
As others have said, PDS is a good choice as it avoids a need to use the API. (It does depend on old dot reddit dot com however, but that's not going away tomorrow.)
In short you need to request and get the GDPR/CCPA archive from reddit to make sure you wipe everything. (Some folks can live with just wiping out their top posts and comments however, for which PDS is perfectly fine.)
The downside is that afaik there's no way to feed that archive to PDS. You'll need to use an API using script like shreddit to edit everything.
