I made a little script to edit all of my comments in protest to reddit's decision. It's pretty simple and you could do it too. Consider doing this before jumping ship to some other forum.

This is a good idea!

Though instead of completelly replacing it, I'd rather add a signature or comment at the end, sort of like the "written from my iphone" kind of thing left as a signature.

It'd be an interesting way to promote a reddit alternative like lemmy or so. Like a message stating "I dont use reddit anymore (see why here [link]) but you can catch up on me here on lemmy [link]"

If an alternative to reddit catches on, I might consider having a grasemonkey script or so to automatically inject it on the comments on the occassion I might decide to still use reddit on PC.

I just did this. If it's possible for you to edit the script without changing the URL, you might consider updating the comments so that it's obvious how to get things like the secret key and such. Otherwise people need to do extra research to figure out how to use this script.

Just to make sure everyone is aware, this presumably only affects your last 1000 comments. I checked the comment history for OP and yourhelpfulfriend and sorted by controversial/top and there's definitely some comments the script didn't seem to edit for them. That would likely be the limitation that reddit only will show the last 1000 comments in the API.

Not sure if there's a way around that other than to just delete comments, and then presumably reddit would continue to go back and give you older comments.

I know you can request your full reddit data and possibly someone could create a script on that as there are presumably permalinks to each comment, so there could be a script to edit/delete comments on some kind of reddit take-out data.

This is pointless.
