shreddit VS saidit

I am glad I trashed my reddit posts/comments before deleting accounts with shreddit [0].

After you get your GDPR file from Reddit (takes a cpl of weeks) via [ https://www.reddit.com/settings/data-request ] I would highly suggest visiting the rust version of shreddit [ https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit ] and pointing it at your GDPR data to fully delete it from Reddits servers. Normal deletes only delete the last 1000 entries, your post and comment history will look empty but if you do a Google search [ site:reddit.com ] you'll find old entries that weren't covered by that (they will appear in your GDPR data).

For example: https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

another tool also named shreddit (not shreddit.com) uses the GDPR file - https://github.com/andrewbanchich/shreddit

You should do a GDPR request from reddit. Within a week or so they should send you a .cvs file containing all your data, including links to all your comments. After that arrives, run it through the Rust fork of Shreddit, which can edit and/or delete ALL your stuff in one go.

Since when does Shreddit cost money? The source code is up on Github with full releases. So weird to make things up about this.

For Reddit alternatives, it looks like https://saidit.net/ (https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) and https://phuks.co/ (https://github.com/Phuks-co/throat) could be viable alternatives. They're open source, have the UX features we desire (threaded, voting, sorting, collapsing).

And while the content of the site is kind of... well, despicable and kinda fucked up, this project: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit has made tons of fixes and improvements to the code itself going forward, so there's one source of fixes/improvements to draw from, as well as a few other active forks.

In fact one site I found a repo for has done so and has made many fixes/improvements to that code -> https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

One codebase that could probably work is this one: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit but there are others out there.

Why not point Apollo at a Reddit alternative, or use the open-source code for Reddit (or code like this https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit) instead of shutting it down?

If Apollo's users (or a good percentage of them) moved over to an alternative platform, that would be poetic justice, at least.

saidit went down this path, and it was indeed a nightmare. what reddit had posted publicly was unusable and misleading, effectively token open source. if anyone is brave enough to try, they should check for fixes here: https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit

People have even forked reddit already (don't know much about that site) : https://github.com/libertysoft3/saidit
