Thanks for this, it's so easy to just run this script when I'm curious.
I got the warning "egrep: warning: egrep is obsolescent; using grep -E" so I just swapped that command to get rid of the message.

I usually pre-order PC games that come with a pre-order bonus on Steam because I can just refund it in two hours of playtime/2 weeks in library if it sucks. If it doesn't, well, I was going to buy it anyway. I know game prices are ridiculous now and I'm buying far less than I used to but being able to just refund it is a game-changer.
I hate Elon as much as the next guy but from reading the article he talks about stopping the blockage of public posts. Doesn't this make sense? You can just go into incognito mode and look at their account anyway. As far as I can tell, you still won't be able to interact with the user.
It's like when the whole Trump blocking people was being talked about as not allowing citizens to see public information that the president tweeted. I know that ordinary citizens is totally different, but again, if your account is public people that you block will find a way to look at your posts if they want to.
It's true, though. I am very guilty of it. I have gotten better at it but 100% of the time I'd click the comments first no matter what. If it seemed worthy of my attention I'd click the link. If it seemed too far-fetched I'd click the link.
I'm realizing now that it's mostly because I don't want to wait the 0.5 seconds for another page to load (ridiculous on my part) and possibly deal with paywalls.
I ended up using shreddit, a Rust remake of an unmaintained Python script (https://github.com/x89/Shreddit). I had to keep running it over and over, but, I think that was the Reddit API's fault. If you end up using it, I recommend running it in a loop unless you want to keep running the same command over and over.
Anyway, it deleted all posts and comments, but messages in my inbox are still there. I'm fine with that for now but eventually want to clear that out I think.
If you're thinking of doing this I'd recommend running it before the API changes since the script uses it.
Thanks, I'll take a look around. Redact looks good but I'd rather something FOSS if I can find it. If I find anything I'll post here.
Any suggestions on tools to use?
Try Strawberry, Audacious, and Lollypop. There's a lot of options, it just depends on what you're looking for. I could give better suggestions if I knew what features are important to you.
