Is this still maintained?

I have just executed the following:

shreddit -u "$MY_USER" -p "$MY_PASSWORD" --client-id "$CLIENT_ID" --client-secret "$CLIENT_SECRET" -r deleted

The log displayed what appears to be all my comments and concluded with:

  2024-05-12T11:05:57.741936Z  INFO  Completed shredding Comments
  2024-05-12T11:05:57.741960Z  INFO  Completed shredding [Posts, Comments]

But no comments or posts have actually been deleted from my account!

I believe this was simply due to me not running with gdpr export initially, which I expected would cause all recent comments to be deleted but apparently the relation is not as straightforward.

The GDPR export feature should delete everything in the GDPR export file you provide it and nothing more. If there are comments in the file which haven't been deleted but shreddit says it did, let me know!
