Wait really? Is there a recommended extension for this?

Big spike in comments/posts this AM :/

https://blackout.photon-reddit.com/

it could have been done much better.

Care to expand on this point?

I’m presently working on changing the url schema to more match reddit’s,

Eg:

/post/{title}-{title_id}

/post/{title}-{title_id}/comments

Etc

Yep! Although it is too bad that when you sesrch for reddit alternstives, that lemmy doesn’t come up.

Bonus points for: a way to get my playlists/liked songs off of spotify :)

Absolutely. The value from the knowledge that I’ve gained from reddit is intangible. It will be next to impossible for me to not use it as reference material in the future. I mean we’re talking about close to 2 decades of crowdsourced information.

Being able to filter out bad information with downvotes was also amazing, and part of the reason I will most likely be moving away from beehaw communities (no downvotes, wtf?? trying to be youtube, eh? 🤣 )

It will still be a useful repository of knowledge. It’s going to be a hard transition, most of the time when I google something I need to append site:reddit.com, to get a useful answer

Note: you will most likely still be able to view from mobile browser via teddit even after the api cutoff date

Nice! Ill give this a shot, as I have something like 5 unis near me

I’m not sure if anything could at this point. The large amount of users has resulted in a lot lower quality of posts.

Yeah at work we mask all responses to the client in production to x00, but in the scenereo the original commenter laid out exposing the 403 would be best.

Adding a modal client side would prob be best here.

404 wouldn’t be the right status code, 403 would be more suitable.

As explained in an earlier post, deleting your user footprint on Reddit completely requires overwriting all your posts and comments with a boilerplate or randomized message, then deleting them all, and finally deleting the account itself.

I have found two tools that do this well, one using the Reddit API, and one not. The one using the Reddit API has more features and fewer bugs, but it may stop working beyond July 1, 2023. Both tools require a Windows, macOS, Linux, etc. computer.

My advice is to wait as close to July 1, 2023 as you can, if not beyond it, in case Reddit changes course at the last second. You may also want to request all your data from Reddit before deleting anything. Or use Reddit Manager to backup selectively.

Power Delete Suite

• https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
• Requires a Windows, macOS, Linux, etc. computer.
• Requires a major web browser.
• Uses the Reddit API. May stop working beyond July 1, 2023.
• Follow the instructions on the GitHub readme.
• The UI should be self-explanatory.
• Configure it to overwrite your posts and comments first, then delete them.

Better Reddit Delete

• https://greasyfork.org/en/scripts/370530-better-reddit-delete
• Requires a Windows, macOS, Linux, etc. computer.
• Requires a major web browser.
• Requires Greasemonkey, Tampermonkey, or Violentmonkey to be installed on the web browser.
• Does not use the Reddit API. Will continue to work beyond July 1, 2023.
• Follow the instructions on the Greasy Fork readme.
