Shreddit VS Reddit

Some scripts like https://github.com/x89/Shreddit look promising, and I'm getting ready to pull the trigger on it just once I make sure my whitelist IDs are good. However, it's probably not thorough enough to hit all my content. My reddit data has over 68,000 comments.

this may no longer work do to the recent API changes, but you can do this easily with shreddit

Just for the sake of general interest, scripts like this already exist (and that one has an option to edit posts to add lorem ipsum nonsense).

I recommend x89/Shreddit

Ah, it’s not so bad. I recommend x89/Shreddit on GitHub to remove your comments, as it edits them first, and then deletes.

If any subreddit mods read this, thank you for doing this. I understand that taking down something that you poured so much energy and effort into is a tough decision. But it's for the best.

I used shreddit[1] to remove my account's posts/comments. It's infuriating to read this line:

> Back in April, Reddit CEO Steve Huffman told The New York Times that the site wanted to start getting paid for helping to train some of the big AI chatbots.

I hope this protest shows the leadership that users have the power.

Slashdot, reddit, and HN are similar in that the source code was available. For HN, as part of arc under the Artistic license. All 3 abandoned public source code releases.

While it would likely have zero overlap with the code in use today if you look at the old code Reddit used to publish for voting the model at that point used to have flags/checks for :

I've been trying to host my own instance of Reddit from archived source code on GitHub. Even though I am aware that's probably not a good idea since many dependencies are broken and there's practically no documentation on anything (and it's really old legacy code), but I still decided to give it a shot.

Shh, don't tell spez, the code is already available on the github https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit/

Automod to act based on keywords/domains/etc., ideally using the same language/flags/regex/etc. of the original automod (old code) so that it's possible to use existing code. (For detecting off-topic posts, enforcing a title format, reminding the users to add missing details to post, filtering profanity, shadowbanning spammers, etc.)

Reddit pre enshittification is actually open source so spinning up your own Reddit instance should be trivially easy. I’m very surprised no one did this after the API protests started

There are already 1:1 reddit clones based on older versions of their software that was open source: https://github.com/reddit-archive/reddit
