I enjoy deleting my old posts and comments, but it’s lot of work doing it individually, especially with comments. For other platforms there are apps you can login with, then delete old or all content, but I can’t find one for Lemmy. Does such a thing even exist?
I’ve written a small program to do that for me on a schedule. Deletes on Lemmy are pretty unreliable, though, so I’m not sure if I’ll ever clean up the code enough to release it into the wild.
Many Lemmy servers fail to process/blatantly ignore deletion requests, though. That’s why the program also sends an edit, though that also gets ignored occasionally. Deletes in a federated system are just a request, nothing more, and that request often gets silently ignored.
