I want to get to either rewrite all my old reddit comments or delete them (prefer to rewrite them all to an insulting message to reddit) before all third party apps are effectively removed on 01 July.

I vaguely remember there was a way to do this.

Does anybody know?

    I kept them. No need to leave scorched earth behind you. Some people not related to the Reddit fuck-ups might find them useful.

    All I did was simply deleting my account. This hurts Reddit and not the uninvolved users coming from external links or web searches.

      Just deleting does not hurt Reddit. Reddit stays useful and continues to benefit from your contributions. Removing the content inconveniences those uninvolved users who now have to find information elsewhere and have no reason to linger on Reddit.

        I don’t want to discomfort uninvolved people in my online activities. The relevance of my posts will decay over time and will be forgotten or seen as not relevant. That’s fine.

        On the other hand, Reddit has one less user to show advertisements to.

        If everyone complaining would just delete their accounts Reddit would be in serious trouble. If everyone would delete their content then everyone would be sad.
