    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

        Best, Internet Archive Team

        Doing it all at once could be tough, but one niche sub at a time maybe?

          The other issue is that Reddit hosts a ton of illegal content including stuff that could possibly be CP and bestiality, along with full service sex work, drug dealing, and shoplifting/stealing Reddits. Somehow the laws that took down Backpage and Craigslist personals left Reddit pretty much unscathed.

          Spez himself was the moderator for r/jailbait. A large function of Reddit is to data mine people and then (I speculate) blackmail them later for this illegal/adult/unrevealed content if they turn out to be influential. This is also why Reddit is so extremely picky about their porn subs and who (in terms of adult Content Creators) they allow to post/interact with users, and why they no longer have mod transparency.

          And before anyone starts calling me too crazy, let me add one more crazy conspiracy to the pile- the conspiracy that Ghilisaine Maxwell was a regular poster to the News subreddits. Sorry to link to this sub, but this does have the tldr of this conspiracy and links etc fornthe curious. In general r/conspiracy is a rightwing shithole ofc. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/r45a5n/here_is_the_evidence_that_reddit_user_maxwellhill/

          Epstein was a fraudster who, once he was caught, needed money. He got it from Les Wexler (and maybe org crime?) who gave him a house outfitted with cameras. Epstein wasn’t a trafficker as his primary purpose. He was getting blackmail.

      *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…

        Wait, this makes it sound like you were doing it by hand? There’s quite a few tools to do that for you, e.g. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
