    I hate the fact that reddit has so much valuable data in it, like thousands of extremely niche subreddits and answers to your questions.

    I wish someone could just mirror it all

      Actually, I found archiveteam’s reddit dump. I think we can re-host this on activitypub, as a form of read-only, easy to browse archive.

      The data is on archive.org is marked non-downloadable to limit traffic. I emailed archive.org requesting one of the 10GB pieces to experiment with. Fingers crossed

      *had. I deleted all my posts that I could find. I hope many others did the same. “Conveniently” these assholes limit how far back in your post history you can go, and beyond that I can no longer delete comments because I can’t systematically browse them to edit in “Fuck reddit!”. :/

          It does - ever since the “new new UI” I had been using that exclusively. Still, there’s a limit in how many pages back you can go in your comment history to edit / delete. If you happen to find one of your old comments by other means, you can still edit it - but not through your own history. But I see that long before that caps out, some of my comments have already been restored, after having been gone for months… Those fuckers…

          I was - I had waited a bit too long and the API was locked down, I was under the impression that the deletion tools no longer worked (and a bit hesitant to give my login / password to some third party tool)
