Delete Reddit comments in bulk
Nuke your Reddit post and comment history!
Reddit doesn't allow bulk actions, so this extension makes it easy for you to mass delete your posts and comments. Reddit Nuker is completely free to use and can hopefully save you some time and energy. You can find the source code at: https://github.com/kennybc/reddit-nuker
Reddit Nuker does enforce a 30 second cooldown per 50 deletions to comply with Reddit API's request rate limits.
Please note that this is a pet project and may have some bugs and fairly limited functionality. With that said, your patience and understanding is greatly appreciated.
Some known issues include Reddit categorizing new/hot/controversial posts and comments separately and this extension will only delete from the "new" category. Support for the others will be added in the future: your patience is appreciated!
Changelogs:
v.2.0:
- removed recursive functionality due to unpredictable background script interval behavior
- reduced batch size from 100 to 50 and cooldown from 60s to 30s (requires more user interaction but should be an overall improved and more consistent experience)
- switched from scraping modhash to using oauth2 for user authorization (safer, better practice, more reliable, improves rate limits)
- more verbose error messages and greatly improved code cleanup for better readability
v.1.2:
- script now automatically reruns every 100 requests (previously required manual rerun)
- script now runs in background; will not be interrupted if extension popup is closed
- added more accurate rate limiting and logging to reflect it
- added an "info/usage" tooltip for some basic stat tracking (requested feature)
- added a license and made open-source for better transparency
