The instructions on GitHub are the guide.
I would start a new thread in this magazine and tag the folks who said they already used shreddit successfully to see if they can help.
The only other advice I have might be that the exe is bad so try finding a good guide for setting up WSL2 and then running the Unix version of shreddit in there. (I think most folks who did it successfully are on OS X or something)
Did you wipe your post history first?
Recommend giving https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit a try - it supports using the GDPR archive out of the box, no code changes required.
You can try this method, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the
For the path of least resistance, getting the copy of the archive and then using a tool like github shreddit to delete works 100% without needing to do anything beyond setting up an API key manually.
To refuse to comply with a formal deletion request (where reddit does the deleting instead of you (even via a tool like shreddit)) is illegal, and reddit should lose in the end, but it will take some years go to through the courts and such.
Correct, github shreddit for example can do this, it has builtin support for checking the GDPR archive and finding comments and posts to delete/overwrite that way.
yeah, i've been trying to get the word out for ages, https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/47320/PSA-If-you-have-more-than-1000-posts-more-than
Hands down this is the right answer.
Just FYI someone else used redact.dev in the past and found that comments got missed too, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/46805/Strange-phenomenon-while-deleting-my-comments
Also, while GDPR archive + github reddit works out of the box, if for some reason you don't want to wait that long or are skeptical that reddit will get back to you (perhaps you live in a place that has no GDPR/CCPA), then there is a backup method to get around this limit, using the pushshift archives available via torrent.

Don’t understand why people are surprised that a private company would like to hold on to your data and keep it active no matter what you want or think or do.
Maybe because reddit literally says they will allow you to change this on their privacy policy?

anything you do there is just adding to their monetization of your activity … the best thing to do is to do nothing
Well, saving a copy of your content, overwriting it, and then deleting it - I don't see how this leads to additional monetization. It's actually better than doing nothing because it prevents further monetization.
Ditto with deleting of accounts (as opposed to deletion of content) vs abandoning of accounts. The latter means that reddit can inflate their number of accounts in some ways, etc.
There was an issue where lemmy.ml refused connections from kbin instances but the admins of that instance fixed the issue yesterday. At no point did true defederation occur.
