🔐 Privacy & Trust

Can I Trust This With My Data?

You don't need to (nor should you inherently) trust reddacted, it is completely open source, don't take my word for it and read the code to confirm - running it locally ensures your data never leaves your machine.

  • No External Calls

    Outside of Reddit, no servers are contacted unless explicitly configured.

  • Optional Authentication

    Reddit authentication is only required for deletion, not for analysis.

  • Smart Deletion

    Keep popular, positive comments while removing risky content.

📊 LLM Compatibility

Works with almost any AI model—no need for expensive computation.
