You'll need to update the praw.Reddit() parameters and set booleans to True based on what you want to have cleared.

This also overwrites your comments with nonsense content seeing as Reddit doesn't really delete your comments if nobody forces them

Sorry about the amateurish Python, this isn't my go-to language

import praw

#Update all values set to XXXXXX and set boolean values to True for whatever you'd like to clear

reddit = praw.Reddit(
    client_id="XXXXXX",
    client_secret="XXXXXX",
    user_agent="script running locally", #required for PRAW but not sure content matters
    username="XXXXXX",
    password="XXXXXX"
)

#booleans

Lemmy, I need your help. I have loads of colleagues blowing up my dms call me the asshole but I don't think I have done anything wrong... So hear me out.

I [40m] have felt like I am being taken advantage of by a developer, let's call him Chris [30m]

It all started when I hosted a Q&A, during the Q&A a question came up about a telephone call we had in private. It came out of nowhere so I reacted quickly. I didn't think the call was relevant to the Q&A we were having but he brought transcripts! I was shocked

It felt like he was deliberately trying to paint me as a villain. I Thought that was it, but after the Q&A all of the moderators were trying to close their subreddits, some of them tried to change the themes of their subreddits and even more shocking they were turning sfw to nsfw so I told them all they had to take their volunteer work seriously or I would fire them!

They are all unhappy because of my stance but I am only doing it for the good of my employer, as my boss tells me we aren't making enough money on ads and most people don't like our website in its current state but I think it's rubbish it works just fine without the developers help!

Anyway, Lemmy please tell me. Am I the Asshole?

Fuck Ajit Pai while we're at it.

You can create a simple regex blacklist in pihole to prevent any accidental clicks on reddit links from generating ad revenue
