The api is still open, but you can't exceed 100 per minute per "Reddit app" unless you pay. So if you want to delete your entire post/comment history, you'll need to Register a new app and it will take some time to delete everything. At least that's how I understand it.
The thing that worries about this is that tools like github shreddit may not be designed to rate-limit themselves to no more than 100 api calls per minute yet so someone who uses this tool today or after while trying to leave reddit mistakenly ends up owning reddit quite a bit of money. shreddit.com is safer i think as you aren't using your own api key - so the company behind the website is on the hook if they fail to make the adjustment. That's why it was so important to get your archive before the API changes, that way you could erase or overwrite with peace of mind. Alas the builtin 30 days and the timing of the announcement meant that in theory almost no one would get it in time. Since June has 30 days, someone who requested immediately after the pricing announcement on May 31 would just get it the day before at latest (just yesterday).
100 per minute is faster than the speed at which I deleted my history. So I guess we can still help people deleting their history.
I used the archive which is shared around and extracted my posts to get the id of my comments and deleted those, like 30 per minute. But I guess that if we rebuild a database with the author as a key then we can pretty quickly return a list of id's based on an author. Then the user can feed this list to a python script by himself and delete himself.
What I couldn't do in time is edit the posts as I ran in some weird index errors that I couldn't bypass.
Two things with thumbnails: the photo is cropped, it should resize to the ratio and show everything so we can see the full thumbnail instead of a cropped one. Secondly, can you make it so clicking on an image thumbnail opens the image instead of going into the thread and then needing to click the thumbnail again to expand it/open it. Thanks
I accidentally wandered into a Reddit thread via Googling something (it's everywhere) and noticed I had gotten mine as well in a message. Looking through it I don't know how useful it really is to have other than for posterity, but the sad part was in thinking that it was just my comments with no context, and those discussion chains are all but lost. Some probably have missing parts due to deletions, and of course they all would require going to Reddit to even read, unless I can just use the URL to maybe find it in an outside archive?
I know it's more than just Huffman behind all this, but I keep thinking of the quote that one person can make a difference. That difference isn't always a good one, and burning things down is always easier than building.
There are datahoarders out there who have complete copies (at least as complete as physically possible) of every post and comment ever put on Reddit, I've seen torrents of them. They're multiple terabytes, though, so I didn't keep a copy of the link - I'd never download something that big.
They will be preserved, and perhaps someday live again on some piratical website or in the memory of some shady AI.
I used the top karma holders lists to remove their posts from my feed since it was usually people posting the same thing in multiple subs. I would often have only a few posts before the marker for page 2 would show up.
Thanks for the great theme. Is there a way to change the top bar show to show magazines/communities that a user has subscribed to, instead of random magazines from kbin that get shown currently? I was a big fan of RES to do that, would definitely love that on kbin. It's probably a make or break feature for me. If I can't easily view contents of individual "magazines" that I subscribe to, I am not sure I would be able to stick around the platform.
Maybe all the new people to Reddit that dgaf about the people behind the content will just stay on actual Reddit and we will get the better groups?
I hope so. I'm excited to see how the fediverse will grow and like you expect that the quality of our communities to be maybe a bit better than those that decide to stick with reddit. I'm going to miss the smaller niche subs I was a part of until we can have them grow over here.
