reddit-search VS clientdiversity-org

When I quit reddit (over irritation at being banned from too many subreddits for not aligning properly with the hive mind), I used this tool to extract and save all my comments locally before manually deleting the lot:

https://github.com/camas/reddit-search

...aaand Github has disabled the repository for 'Terms of Service' violations. Go figure, maybe there's a mirror somewhere.

The GitHub has been officially disabled again for ToS violations.

From the repository (https://github.com/camas/reddit-search):

Access to this repository has been disabled by GitHub Staff due to a violation of GitHub's Terms of Service.

Actually, I was referring to the notice posted right on the repo:

Man I'm almost smart enough to do all that... I got to this website and couldn't figure out the rest. I will keep trying. Is this what hacking feels like? Glad people have a better memory than I do!

Alessandro said it'd be a few days before he can get me a data endpoint, but once that happens I'll have clientdiversity.org updated in a day or 2

Ethereum is the most decentralized transaction ledger in the world, with thousands of nodes distributed across the world, and more client diversity than any other blockchain that I'm aware of:

The move to Proof of Stake has also made solo validation accessible to parties other than large pools.

there are guides on https://clientdiversity.org/

Large number of nodes does not equal decentralization. In Ethereum, like all other networks/countries, power tends to consolidate. All the consensus power is consolidated to 1-2 entities.link Hedera is already far more decentralized.

Apparently that’s the case, yes: https://clientdiversity.org/ though the source says „data might not be 100% accurate“, but I guess it’s sure geth dominance is down.

Execution clients only run GETH. Client diversity isn’t even great per eth foundation: https://clientdiversity.org

10+ separate companies implement the protocol in 10 completely different independent code bases https://clientdiversity.org/

As I said this is the second time I did this "report" and asked for better sources the first time as well. In the end I did my best to find reliable sources, but even back then I really wasn't sure if these numbers are correct. And if you look at https://clientdiversity.org/ there are even two data sources you can choose that really differ... so +1 to the irony of our industry...
