reddit-nuke

• Python script using PRAW with docker build
• Will edit, then delete all comments, and delete all posts
• By default edits comments with a random string
• Logs to stdout
• Each deletion request is delayed by 5 seconds to prevent reaching API limit (edit REQUEST_DELAY_IN_SECONDS constant to adjust)

This was created as a basis to learn how to package a python script into a docker container.
