  It worked for me. Comments never came back even years later and checking old comment links with gdpr files.

  I think reddit has a limit on the amount of comments that can be viewed through your profile. So you won’t be able to delete everything in one go if you have thousands of comments.

  You’ll have to do one run rewriting and then after deleting the comments it can. Then wait and do it a few days or a week later when the profiles repopulates it with the older batch of comments that weren’t available before.

  I stayed away from the general popular subreddits that tend to populate /r/all preferring to stick to either hobbyist and tech related subs. I haven’t noticed much change when it comes to places like emulators or roms for example mainly going there to check the wiki and when myrient went down people backing it up and making Minerva.

  So I guess if it is the general trash subs that the twitter crowd congregates along with news, the bots and stuff might be more apparent with it being about karma, trying to go viral, and manipulate what users see. But, the more resource oriented ones like Linux or build a pc still seem to be less affected.

  I’ve avoided the /r/all crowd for years, which is where the filtering of RES came in so handy along with tagging users to make it easier to know which to avoid even if I’m not logged in to utilizing blocking. Can’t stand the twitter type populace of reddit that has become the main demographic over the years.

  Old.reddit UI fills the entire width of the screen, and default view is compact. You see more of the feed at a glance without having to scroll as often. When it comes to comments more of it is displayed when it comes to nested comments before clicking.

  New reddit takes up a lot of space. And clutters up the side with stuff like related posts when you check the comment section.

  Another big one is reddit enhancement suite which lets you tag and block things only works on old.reddit.

  There’s the proposed theory of 90% of the community are just lurkers, 9% contribute occasionally, and 1% contribute most of the content.

  Might not seem like it doesn’t matter, but depends on who are the ones submitting most of the material to the site than lurkers.

  If you want to rewrite your comments you should do it while you still have the chance with something like power delete suite, since it relies on old.reddit.

  Best method in the past was getting GDPR files and doing it with shreddit, but getting api keys is hard now.

  $2000 :(

  I’ll have to pass on it. Wish meta weren’t the main ones making VR headsets. I’ve wanted to play Half Life Alyx but entry cost has been meta or pay more, and I’ve opted for passing on VR.
