Does redact delete reddit posts or only edit them?

Hey guys I have been seeing redact all over reddit where it says “this post was edited with redact” or whatever. I have a huge reddit history and I have been waiting/wanting/thinking of deleting my reddit account.

I am curious, does redact software delete your reddit history or edit your old comments?

thanks in advance

pretty sure it does both, it’s been almost two years since I used the Reddit tools, but I am 99% sure you can edit or delete your old reddit posts. I think people use the edit old posts feature to beat all the archiving tools, so after they remove their reddit account the archiving tools don’t keep all your content online for years and years.

Redact can delete AND edit your old reddit posts.

You can see all the features on the main reddit page: Mass Delete Reddit Comments, Posts, & Messages | Redact.dev

What redact can do on reddit:

  • delete reddit comments
  • delete reddit posts
  • delete posts & comments from specific subreddits only
  • delete by date range
  • delete posts or comments with specific keywords
  • delete posts by title keywords
  • mass edit reddit comments or posts
  • delete your entire reddit history

The redact software does both mass editing and mass deleting of reddit posts and comments.

You know you can download it free and try it out, right?

tbh, that reddit comment editing feature is really annoying. literally multiple times per week I will be reading a reddit thread and I’m about to get to the main point/comment/information or whatever and BAM I get smacked in the face with the “this comment has been mass edited by redact.dev”. God it can be so anoying!@!@!!

lmao I actually agree with debbie, it seems like almost daily the mass reddit post editing feature ruins one of the reddit threads I am reading. Should we start a petition to get the feature removed? :laughing:

Here is a video of the edit comments feature: https://youtu.be/vUJGltGA7oA?t=104
