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.)

Do keep this in mind however, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than

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.

If you do decide to put in a data retrieval request, there's a timeline tracker: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread

Reddit admins using that "feature" to post under other usernames perhaps? I dunno if there's a way to check but I wouldn't be surprised if these folks were not actually subbed to the sub that they seem to care so much about.

Be careful. When I tried this it didn't quite work - I got a handful of comments, but a bunch were missing and the csv was obviously truncated. Others have reported similar results as well. See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/71867/Poll-Power-Delete-Suite-users-are-you-saving-your-content

I had another way of grabbing everything, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the

We are tracking timelines on this here: https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread

So far very few reports of folks actually getting anything.

Power to you, mate! Let's go get 'em!

This article did not age well.

I'm fine with either approach honestly. Both remove the valuable human generated content from reddit so both are a strike against them in my book.

Keep it up mods! It is working!

More to the point, I took it off of reddit, but moved it onto the fediverse. Folks who need that advice I wrote many years ago will still be able to find it, they just have to look elsewhere than reddit for it.

Thank you for your service! This is exactly what we need.

Ditto!
