https://shreddit.com/ - I hurt the bastards and you can too.
On the one hand I lean into a hard disagree with this idea. I get wanting to protect ones privacy but on the other hand that’s so much information being purged that could help others. I use Google to search reddit for my problems everyday and id be so heartbroken to not be able to do that anymore.
Why not move your content here? Keeping it on reddit only really helps reddit in the long run, not its users.
There was an internet before reddit, and there will still be an internet after reddit. If everyone is avoiding to making a move, absolutely nothing will change.
Many new people are looking for new content here, so this is also the perfect time to start adding that valuable information to more than one place. This “blackout” is FAR from the only possible downfall of using reddit as a main source of information. Hypothetically, one day reddit could get shut down for legal issues, they could sell everything to someone who destroys it, they could decide to openly sell ALL user data on a whim, and more. Neither you nor I could stop those things if they happened. I don’t know about you, but I don’t like the idea of all of that information disappearing altogether suddenly. At least with this, we have a chance of saving that information beyond what reddit specifically allows.
My man, that’s exactly why you should do it. To inflict as much pain as possible on Reddit, especially if it disrupts them and others from problem solving. I too have used Reddit a great deal to solve issues. I recognise what you’re saying, but somethings gotta give my friend. Reddit is a evil coporation that’s feeding it’s users to the wolves. Completely sabotaging their website and transfering here is in my opinion, the way forward. It’s 10 steps backwards, in orders to make 100 steps forward.
How does Redact handle the current API rate limits on Reddit? I’ve been using Power Suite Delete the past few days to purge my footprint and help incentive myself to move on, but every pass consistently has comments that aren’t overwritten because it’s hitting limits and moving on instead of queueing actions.
Also, I’ve noticed apparently not all of my account’s content is listed consistently which is why I’ve been running it for a few days now. Every couple hours a few new posts or comments are shown that were just nowhere to be found before.
Thanks. Just deleted all my comments, posts, and votes on my 12 year Reddit account.
I have no intention of going back. Besides the smaller subreddits the place has been absolutely trashed for years now. I’d rather stick and help grow smaller communities.
Is there some way you can copy your posts or guides here before deleting them?
I put in a request to download all my data. It was a GDPR request, so I’m not sure if anyone can do it.
I’m curious if anyone else can replicate this, but I used redact.dev to delete my post/comment history. Then I requested for the data download using GDPR as my reasoning.
At this point, my comment history et al was gone. I was about to delete my account too, but I figured I’d wait for the download link in my messages.
That was three days ago, I’ve checked for the link every day and instead of it appearing. All my posts & comments have been restored in a piecemeal fashion.
1 comment after the first day, 5 comments the next day, and so on.
These were comments that redact.dev had edited, then deleted.
Still no data download link tho
