Hi Friends, if I want to delete my reddit history, minus a few irreplaceable niche subs, do I have to do this before the API change? Do these tools require API access to work? I already managed to back up my comments and posts to a CSV using some kind of “Power Delete” or something like that. I’m just waiting to see if I actually need my reddit for anything before I launch the nukes and wipe the account to about 10% of what was on there.
Yes.
You can get your own api key which is then limited to 100 querys or so I bet the tools will support this.
If the tool requires you to set up your own API key, then you should^1 be fine. They’re changing the free API ratelimit from 60 requests per user per API key to 100 requests per API key.
^1: Although it should be fine, don’t rely too much on Reddit keeping their promises. Better safe than sorry
