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:
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? 
Here is a video of the edit comments feature: https://youtu.be/vUJGltGA7oA?t=104
Yes redact.dev can delete and/or edit your reddit content en-masse
Is the reddit tool for mass editing comments free to use?
Yes @BIGdave it certainly is - you can edit as many reddit comments as you want on our free tier.
I came here because I saw the mass editing comments plastered all over reddit and wanted to do the same to my comment history 
Edit AND delete is the answer
Honestly the edit feature is the underrated piece of this.
When I did my big reddit cleanup last summer I edited everything to a clean replacement message first then waited a few weeks for the archives to catch up then nuked it all. Now even the wayback machine and pushshift cached versions show “scrubbed by Redact” instead of my old hot takes from 2017.
Edit first to overwrite the archives, delete later to clean up the live site. Worth knowing about if you’re serious about a fresh start
Reddit is uniquely annoying because they keep edit history visible to mods so the overwrite step actually matters. The order matters too, edit first then delete is the proper sequence not the other way round.
