Is there a voat script to use the API to overwrite your comment history and then delete the posts? (AskVoat)

submitted ago by bob3333

The news that voat has a new "partner" has me nervous. I'm making contingency plans in the event that the partner turns out to insist on some sort of "curation," or if it seems like they're here to use voat as some sort of honeypot. If that happens I would like to remove every trace of everything I've ever posted to voat, but before writing my own script I wanted to check and see if this is work that has already been done.

Just delete your account.

We wipe all your data, including content replacement, when a user deletes their account (make sure you pay attention to the options as you can leave content or anonymize it too).

It makes me nervous that you are a janitor on a system sub and are posting submissions like this.

If you choose to unilaterally remove people as mods from subs because of posting a question you don't like when they have done nothing to abuse mod powers, it really makes it seem like the question hits a nerve for some reason. Are we already pissing off your partner?

Or maybe system sub janitors with paranoia tend to end badly?

Or maybe he looked at your account history and realized you don't make any regular effort to clean spam.

Except that isn't what he said, now is it?
