Do Delete/Overwrite Tools Rely on the API

Hi Friends, if I want to delete my reddit history, minus a few irreplaceable niche subs, do I have to do this before the API change? Do these tools require API access to work? I already managed to back up my comments and posts to a CSV using some kind of “Power Delete” or something like that. I’m just waiting to see if I actually need my reddit for anything before I launch the nukes and wipe the account to about 10% of what was on there.

If the tool requires you to set up your own API key, then you should^1 be fine. They’re changing the free API ratelimit from 60 requests per user per API key to 100 requests per API key.

^1: Although it should be fine, don’t rely too much on Reddit keeping their promises. Better safe than sorry

Rule 6- Regarding META posts.

Provided it is about the community itself, you may post non-Reddit posts using the [META] tag on your post title.

Rule 7- You can't harass or disturb other members.

If you vocally harass or discriminate against any individual member, you will be removed.

Likewise, if you are a member, sympathiser or a resemblant of a movement that is known to largely hate, mock, discriminate against, and/or want to take lives of a group of people, and you were provably vocal about your hate, then you will be banned on sight.

For further explanation, clarification and feedback about this rule, you may follow this link.
