*had. I deleted all my posts that I could find. I hope many others did the same. "Conveniently" these assholes limit how far back in your post history you can go, and beyond that I can no longer delete comments because I can't systematically browse them to edit in "Fuck reddit!". :/
Does old.reddit.com not work anymore ?
It does - ever since the "new new UI" I had been using that exclusively. Still, there's a limit in how many pages back you can go in your comment history to edit / delete. If you happen to find one of your old comments by other means, you can still edit it - but not through your own history. But I see that long before that caps out, some of my comments have already been restored, after having been gone for months... Those fuckers...
Wait, this makes it sound like you were doing it by hand? There's quite a few tools to do that for you, e.g. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
I was - I had waited a bit too long and the API was locked down, I was under the impression that the deletion tools no longer worked (and a bit hesitant to give my login / password to some third party tool)
