Regreddit is a command line tool that can delete everything (posts and comments for now) from your Reddit account.
$ cargo install regreddit
You need a credentials file .regreddit.toml in the current working directory
for the commands to work. This is an example .regreddit.toml file with fake
credentials:
yaml
[credentials]
client_id = "clientidstring"
secret = "secretstring"
username = "trsutyhardware"
password = "myveryweakpassword"
To obtain the client ID and secret, follow the steps outlined in the official Reddit documentation. Select the "script app" type.
To delete all your comments and posts:
$ regreddit --yes
You can view the logs by:
$ regreddit --yes -vvv
In the .regreddit.toml file, you can also specify a list of whitelisted
subreddits. Posts and comments from them are not deleted. For example:
toml
whitelist = ["rust"]
Since USCIS checks foreign nationals for crimethink by requiring everyone to hand over social media accounts, it may be best to sanitize your social media starting with Reddit.
