So many people seem to recommend this app, but its obviously not open source and requires an email to signup, which seems unnecessary. Are there any good open source alternatives that are a one-stop-shop of sorts rather than a bunch of mottled scripts?

redact dot dev is owned by a guy named Dan Saltman. Dan Saltman is the cohost to liberal youtuber Destiny (Steven Bonnell). Dan Saltman is openly Zionist and has tried to have all anti-Zionists banned from streaming websites, such as twitch. I would avoid using redactdev. I don't trust them to securely delete things.

I got a little rust program to replace all my discord messages with quotes from the uncyclopedia.

I don't know of FOSS "one-stop-shops" but these services should have APIs you can use and write scripts to mass-delete. It wouldn't be particularly hard or time-consuming, and you can also publish your scripts so other people can use them instead of writing your own.

My rule of thumb: never trust a service whose front page has a "Pricing" tab.

Extending your rule: Never trust a service whose “Pricing” page is hidden.

Earlier today, I encountered a website[0] that does exactly this.

What do you mean by "hidden"? The "Pricing" page is indeed accessible from the menu.
