Yeah so I assume you mean the torrent of data. That is great but to be efficient you need to know what subs you post in otherwise you will be traveling a lot of data. Unless it is hosted and searchable somewhere.

There is a script that tries pushfit list but not sure if that is still working (edit: no pushfit has gone private I think or just dead), otherwise wait for the gdpr. Mine took about 3weeks but did come through, I think I got in just before the rush though as request the end of the first blackout week.

What are you using to prove all your comments are gone? If you are just looking in your profile it will.be empty as Reddit doesn’t bump comments into the list unless somone votes on them. So if you delete your new 1000 it doesn’t promote the 1001st into that list likewise if you delete your top 1000 it won’t promote the 1001st until someone drops a vote on one.

Try googling your username and Reddit and see what is there (I found hundreds even though your profile was showing only two)

Thanks I think I can work with that. I didn’t realise there was an open fork of shreddit. I was just thinking of shreddit.com

I am thinking maybe a modified version of this one https://github.com/PranavMahesh1/reddit-user-comment-deleter-by-subreddit
That users the praw python wrapper. But rather than that one going off to pushfit I just feed in the comment IDs from column1 of the Reddit headers CSV into the id_list array from csv. I am not sure I even need to get body of the comment as that is for logging purposes

I would love it if that was true, but think the impact of the blackout making ALL users unable to access whole swathes of the site might be bigger

So they also lost ranking (I assume to discord that moved up in to 4th place)

yeah, I think that almost builds on my post not contradicts it. Someone may whip out a phone, go to the first result in google and say “there proves my point” without assessing the validity of the source.

I almost don’t want to post this (but hey this is fediverse not a place with 60m subs.) But Shropshire hills is amazing a quiet, it doesn’t get the masses like Brecon beacons, peak District, lakes or Snowdonia.

We we found it almost by accident as just found some cheap accomodation in Midlands

But the area church stretton, craven arms and to the west to lydham, up to stipperstones then over long mynd to carding mill valley (very steep drops off the mynd and one lane so not for faint hearted.)

Tom embodied the ‘greatest’ generation…his daughter embodies the boomer generation

It shows how bots were there all the time posting adverts and paid posts anyway. One of the reasons to limit API is other companies were using them to advertise (hidden as a comment or post) without paying the piper.

In a similar vein have ever ready portal to all of human knowledge constantly in our pocket it has killed some avenue of debate in face to face social situations, like out at a bar. In the before time you could spend an entire evening debating which came first or who wrote some film, or which song sold most albums and the argument would not be settled by some whipping out a phone, googling and done.

central government to dictate to local government what they can and can’t do is fucked up

that is the crux of it for me. If there are SLAs they have to meet then fair do but that should be backed up with numbers. Be that bins emptied within a rolling 14 day window or 90% benefits claims resolved in 3 days of being raised. So I think there can be statuary obligations councils have to make, but that should be on the what, not how they deliver stuff

because americans realise they actually do want to be British afterall some 250 later and eat the great british baked bean

We absolutly should be giving these people asylum and hiding them

Frontpage by the very way it works will always be the same it picks up the top content, and even if a larger portion left would still leave plenty of posts. The forntpage worked 10 years ago when it was 10% the size.

It is looking at the mid size subs that will be interesting

fall foul of UK banking anti-money laundering and sanctions rules

it is those rules that mean they cant do buisness, those rules were written and passed to meet laws from parliament.

I might understand if it was Shetland. We often leave them off the map anyway and they are a long way away, but orkney is pretty much just offshore.

You will not be able to get the actual detail back unfortunately… However there are some of the ai tools that give best guesses as to what should have been there and like a sort of auto-generated picture can look extremely plausible. I have seen outputs from them and think the latest Google pixel phone will have it built in, but not sure were to access it online
