biggest problem is that API and post history only goes back 1000 comments. If you have ever made more than 1000 comments, the only way you are going to scramble them as nonsense is if you manage to find a permalink.
Can you just use a web driver with Selenium or something to get the permalinks the way a human would and then scrub them that way? It’s not efficient but it’s only really a one-time use tool anyway so if it works then it works.
Wait, really? Thats a massive issue, and I didnt see any comments about this back in 2024 when everyone was migrating here and scrubbing their reddit accounts.
For people leaving Reddit: you need to scrub your posts before you delete your account. Or replace them with random nonsense is even better.
If you delete the account first, your posts stay, your username is just updated to “deleted”.
Scrub, then delete. There is software for this also, but I am not familiar enough to suggest something.
For anyone familiar with “pillage, and then burn” same idea here.

Back then the apps doing so might have had access to it via the API’s they later shuttered
