real-time-extension VS reveddit

> a browser extension.

Already exists, but feel free to upgrade or make your own:

I'm with you on content urls being the proper way to key off of content. did that for the rAger extension, which is open source, as well as intercepting requests. I'm okay with abandoning that extension, but it sure would be helpful to have more people involved in maintaining the real-time extension, which is also open source. Give me a shout if you're interested.

If anyone more experienced wants to give it a shot, the source code for the changes I made for Safari are here.

My guess is they'll approve it on Monday. If you really want it now you can install from source.

Thanks for your report. I've seen it reported here, though I'm unable to replicate.

The code is open source.

Yeah. I'd do it myself as a standalone app if I knew how. The extension code already exists, it just needs to be modified to work with a javascript-based mobile framework.

So, I think there should be an optional feature(or maybe plugin?) allowing the deleted comments/posts to be fetched from Reveddit/Removeddit. It appears thst Reveddit might have an API , so it shouldn't be too hard to implement, although disclaimer - I am not an developer, so I could be very wrong.

The code that makes the extension is available here in case anyone wants to add to or review it. It uses Chrome's manifest v3 which is a much more restrictive set of extension rules meant to deal with abusive extensions. Eventually, Chrome will force all extensions to use that, and Firefox may follow suit too. Unfortunately v3 breaks a lot of cool extensions but that's another conversation.

Tons of mod tools built on top of shadow comment removals: crowd control, comment nuke, disruptive comment collapsing, contributor quality score, subreddit shadow bans via automoderator ...

Check your account here [1], you probably have removed comments you don't know about. Or comment here [2] to see how it works.

btw check if your comment gets shadowbanned later. Mods love to do that with comments like these.

Btw have any of you used https://www.reveddit.com/ ? It shows you which of your comments have been shadow deleted by the m*ds

You can see which ones were removed for you on reveddit

> how is an explicit ban any less discouraging?

It's about whose messages are sidelined, not who gets discouraged.

With shadow removals, good-faith users' content is elbowed out without their knowledge. Since they don't know about it, they don't adjust behavior and do not bring their comments elsewhere.

Over 50% of Reddit users have removed content they don't know about. Just look at what people say when they find out [1].

> and evidently it does work against spammers here on HN

It doesn't. It benefits people who know how to work the system. The more secret it is, the more special knowledge you need.
