Democrats fear the Green Party could offer voters an enticing alternative
Okay, so what's keeping Democrats from offering something enticing? Medicare For All comes immediately to mind as a broadly popular policy. If a Republican win next year means fascism, shouldn't the Democratic leadership be deeply worried about that? Shouldn't they be pulling out all the stops?
Works for me on Ubuntu. Instead of using command-line arguments, I put a shreddit.env file in the same directory where my GDPR files were extracted, then did a cd to that directory before running shreddit. I've got single quotes around the passwords, etc. in the shreddit.env file.
Okay, so it sounds like you've created the Reddit credentials. You also have shreddit installed and your $PATH variable changed, since 'shreddit --version' is giving you 0.9.1 instead of an error message.
TBH, I don't think installing shreddit via cargo creates a shreddit.env file. I just opened a new file in a text editor (I use Pluma), did a copy/paste of the body of the shreddit.env.example file, and then changed the fields to match my account info, client ID, etc.
Then I created a new directory called cargo_shreddit to keep all the mess in one place. I extracted my GDPR files into cargo_shreddit, put my shreddit.env file in there too, changed to that directory, and used the command "shreddit".
My ISP connection can be flaky, so occasionally it would crap out on me with a panic error--sometimes after deleting 50 entries, sometimes after doing thousands. To deal with that, I made a backup copy of my original comments.csv file, then simply edited my comments.csv file as I went along, keeping the first line of the file (the one that says 'id,permalink,date,ip,subreddit,gildings,link,parent,body,media') but deleting the entries for any comments I'd already successfully done. It took several hours to do it all, but you should see a steady stream of messages while it's happening to let you know which comments it's working on.
ETA: This is what my shreddit.env file looks like, with all the passwords, etc., changed to random values.
second ETA: And in case you're wondering whether the problem is with your Reddit credentials, I very much doubt it. I just tried screwing up mine and it gives a distinct error message instead of the blinking cursor of WTF. When I restored them, shreddit worked again, so it's also not that Reddit's shut something down.
You don't have to specify any arguments you've put in the shreddit.env file. Or anything with defaults you're okay with. So you can just type "shreddit" and hit enter. Anything you put on the command line will probably override what's in the shreddit.env file.
The irony is that the comments that got me the most karma weren't the ones I considered of highest value. A detailed, genuinely helpful response in a small subreddit might only garner a half-dozen upvotes while a snarky one-liner in a big sub can boost karma by thousands.
I ran into the profile limit so no more comments show up, but they are still on reddit with the csv file having links to the ones that haven't been deleted. There's too much for me to do it manually so would appreciate help if there's some tool to automate the process.
Not sure what "won't run" means, but the first thing I'd double-check is your shreddit.env file. You might need to put single quotes around your password, etc., and I'd also look at the pathname of the directory where your GDPR files are to be sure that's correct.
I don’t know if Reddit is just trying to be a dick or what, but as I started to delete some comments, I’m not able to see any comments in my profile “hasn’t commented on anything”, but if I visit actual posts where I’ve commented, I can clearly see my comments there....
TL;DR: you'll need the permalinks for older comments if you want to delete them using a script. Otherwise, you'll have to google them and manually delete everything.
Also, if anyone's wondering, the format for an extracted comments.csv from the GDPR files you'll get from reddit is just a flat text file. The first line is (explicitly)
and every entry that follows is the id, permalink, etc. so it might be possible to dummy up a comments.csv file by extracting stuff from an archive (as described in the second link above) and use the shreddit program from the third link if you wanted to delete things while waiting for Reddit to fulfill your data request.
When the whole Reddit fiasco started happening, I saw a lot of people wiping and deleting their Reddit accounts and moving elsewhere, like here on Lemmy....
Is there some script, addon or something that will take data from GDPR request and delete content, especially comments, one by one? redact had this capability, but it’s not working now
I don't see thier brilliant responses to my discourses now but as you say lurkers do or whatever. That is polluting my discourse and I did not want to talk with this person anymore.
Nope. The discourse ended when you abandoned it. Whether the other person is still shitposting is something you have no control over. I guarantee that if they were enough of an asshole for you to want to block them, any lurker worth their salt's already aware of their assholishness. And really, it's kind of silly to concern yourself with the opinions of people who might or might not even be there.
Stop thinking of these exchanges as debates you need to win, and think of them instead as conversations that either are or aren't worth your time. When you block, you're making a decision the conversation's not worth any more of your time, so stop giving it your attention--and that includes wondering what else has been said and what others think of it.
