Someone posted this over on Reddit right when it happened and I apparently saved it. I’m cleaning out my bookmarks and came across it. I hought you’d like to see why it’s good news that we found Lemmy.

Edit: I took a screenshot in case it gets deleted.

    Is there an easy way to delete or rewrite all my comments in bulk? I looked up something when ask this started, but the resources I found were too complicated

      Power Delete Suite… but it only works from the comment lists on your profile on old.reddit, which are limited, so it may miss some.

      There is a script that’s supposed to run through the comment IDs from the GDPR export, but I haven’t managed to run it successfully (yet).

          If you delete comments, they still exist (but are hidden from the public) so reddit can still sell the content/conversation to 3rd parties, eg for training language models. If you edit the comments first, it makes the conversation nonsensical and reddits “product” is less valuable
