Do not, my friends, become addicted to keeping your account...
For real, this account of mine is not great for opsec. I try to be careful, but when you have over 6k comments through 2.5 years... someone with enough dedication or some AI program could probably get more information about me than I'd be comfortable with.
Once we get out of bunker mode I plan on reviewing all my comments and scrubbing out anything remotely personal. Then I plan on retiring this account (not deleting it, just not using it) and starting a new one. But that's at least gonna take me a full day, maybe more. I'd also like to only ever use Hexbear when I'm on a VPN because I haven't been consistent with that on this account.
I wish I just created new accounts instead of sticking with this one the whole time, would have been a lot easier. I definitely encourage you all to do that.
Hope folks have been sticking around under new accounts.
But I do miss EugeneVDabs (don't we all) and JoeySteel; even though with Joey they just couldn't keep the lid on the sectarianism and they sourced Grover Furr way more than I would have liked, they always were super informative.
Yeah, I decided to delete my couple years old :reddit-logo: account about a week ago. Of course, I went out in style and got my ass permabanned.
I still keep around a main for hobbies and non-political stuff. :reddit-logo: sucks but at least the hobby subreddits aren't half bad. I supplement with those until I find niche forums that I like, such as this one
Here's a handy reddit account and comment overwrite script. It looks complicated but I figured it so I'm sure most people can. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
Right but I don't want to delete my comments, just remove specific information. I'm not saying I'm some wise sage of communism but you never know what posts and comments others might find helpful. I don't mind taking a day for that.

Luckily the "Next" button on account overviews is broken so nobody will ever see our older posts!
Before the bunker mode change you just had to click "next" and then reload the page, then it would load your old comments
It's a feature, not a bug.
I've had 20+ accounts here and probably 4X as many :reddit-logo: accounts

It's kind of a bummer when people do that. I had some comments starred to go back to, and when I did, they were gone because the account was deleted.
