reddit-purge

This is a simple script to purge your Reddit comment history.

Why do you need this? Reddit is 11-years-old now. It's not hard to trawl through your comment history and piece together who you are. Besides, do you really want your username to be associated with the questions you asked as a 13-year-old on the Dead or Alive 4 board?

How do I use it?

You'll get an app ID and secret. Now, make a config.json file as follows:

{
  "username": "wonderbread",
  "password": "hunter2",
  "platform": "ubuntu",
  "id": "JsuhDIISnswaxw",
  "secret": "Y-m__FI9acuHuaErncsSokf"
}

Now just npm install and node index.js and get some coffee. Your comments will be overwritten with 'foo' before being deleted to prevent any archiving from fetching your actual text.
