I would really like the option to choose between multiple instances (even accounts on same instance??), which I think is the very last line of your post. :)
On reddit I was very grateful to the RES account switcher, and mobile app that let you easily switch accounts. I would probably never have actually gotten into reddit without those. It let me use completely different parts of reddit to express and explore different interests I think one of the things that made reddit the best social media platform was how pseudonymous it was. Total opposite of facebook "real name policy" attitude.
In the lemmy/kbin situation I am not sure how the interface would be. Need 1) some kind of persistent switching interface, 2) reminders of what account you are in. In RES it showed you your account name at the top of the page in the selector, and optionally above every comment box so you didn't accidentally post as the wrong account.
In the meantime I guess I will eventually install every available extension that does this and assign each one an account lol. Or pick one and make several local forks and install separately. hmm
I don't know if anyone here has anything as constructive as what they should have done, having reached this point in history. If I was suddenly dropped into spez's body, I do not have a clue what I would do other than completely back track the past 2 months and eat a literal hat with a fork and knife. Don't know if even that would work.
I just played around a bit and noticed old comments appear when I sort my user profile by top or controversial of all time. Going do delete those manually tomorrow, though I have no idea if these are all. Comments are >4yrs old and definitely behind the assumed 1,000 comment limit.
You can get your top 1000 (only updates as comments are voted) your comteqverisal 1000 and newest. So you should be able to see your most popular. In theory if they were all different you could see 3000 comments but they is likily.overlap. Reddit doesn't bump any into new if you delete and doesn't go looking for votes on delete either.
Yes. I've deleted several previous Reddit accounts, and ended up losing some pretty good stuff. Meanwhile, I'm not deleting the ones I currently have as I still have use for Reddit.
TL;DR: you'll need the permalinks for older comments if you want to delete them using a script. Otherwise, you'll have to google them and manually delete everything.
Also, if anyone's wondering, the format for an extracted comments.csv from the GDPR files you'll get from reddit is just a flat text file. The first line is (explicitly)
and every entry that follows is the id, permalink, etc. so it might be possible to dummy up a comments.csv file by extracting stuff from an archive (as described in the second link above) and use the shreddit program from the third link if you wanted to delete things while waiting for Reddit to fulfill your data request.
Had been on reddit for 12+ years, tons of accounts, ran a few small subs. Some insane supermod decided to fuck with me across the site so I nuked all my comments, accounts and subs and I'm done with it. Not having it on mobile since the third-party apps shutdown made it easy. I'll still peruse some interesting/hobby subs but I won't participate ever again. No regrets, the place is toxic.
I haven't deleted mine, but I no longer visit the site. I mostly nuked the content on my account a few years ago. Sure there's some stuff now, but it's nothing important. I'm just leaving it there for convenience.
That said I'm mostly moving off of corporate owned media. I put links to my new stuff on my accounts on those sites.
