Yes, some of us got this email on Monday.
Pretty sure most old and/or active accounts received this regardless of being mods, though.

Cool, you managed to get it working after all. I never used Power Shell before this either.
It’s ridiculous the average user has to jump through all these hoops just to regain control of their own data.

That’s strange. It took me a while to figure out as well, but then worked non-stop for an entire day.

This is what I ran:

C:\Users\workPC\Documents\reddit-data\shreddit-windows.exe --username blah --password blah --client-id blah --client-secret blah --gdpr-export-dir C:\Users\workPC\Documents\reddit-data\export_blah_20240225

It’s possible reddit is rate limiting you, or the program loses access to the gdpr folder it’s pulling the links from (antivirus?). You could try running it from a different path or on a different pc.
I ran the .exe from the same “reddit-data” folder that contained the gdpr files just to be safe with folder permissions and stuff.

update: turns out PowerDeleteSuite and others can only delete your 1000 most recent comments (a limit set by reddit), but I found something that actually works and does a thorough job.

There are step-by-step instructions on the page.
I’m running the program in PowerShell with the GDPR option, and it’s been nicely chugging away for hours now.

Same. It’s 12 years for me.

Anyway, here’s to wasting another 13 years in the fediverse! 🍺

PowerDeleteSuite doesn’t work for me.
https://old.reddit.com/u/me/overview takes me to a login page (even though I’m already signed in) and when I sign in there, the same page just comes back again without the credentials I typed in.

Same thing happens in Firefox and Edge.
I swear it worked last year. Is it now broken or am I just really stupid?
