Man fuck those fascists. I am glad for every day that I am not on there writing content for them. Now granted my content might be shyte but it still drove revenue. 😆
I’m doing a full history delete using my data request as a reference to all my comments. 17761 comments. Many stupid crap, but also many helpful tech related stuff that will no longer drive traffic to Reddit.

You… absolute genius. Thank you, that should have occurred to me. 🤦 This I can just script to catch all the old ones that don’t show up in the user overview.
That’s just so sad to me. Is there any place we could tell people to store or upload these things? I hate that we’re losing so much because of one company’s hubris.
Honestly even an instance that’s just “deletedposts.lemmy” or something like that, to save posts that were useful.
Sooner or later someone will make something, either a site or actual software, that will be able to parse the dumps and present it in a user-friendly fashion. There are enough users out there with data dumps now to justify it.
If/when it happens it’ll also be possible to create an archive everyone can see and search that isn’t beholden to reddit at all.

Their rate limiting is a bit annoying, but after adding a 3 second delay (maybe overkill) the deletions seem to be progressing steadily.

Agree that it’s sad, and I’ve got the export of my posts if that ends up being useful… but idk what to do with it rn

Fascists, is it?
