It took several weeks but I finally got my Reddit data export for my account. If it wasn't already obvious, the direct messages there are not encrypted in any meaningful way. One interesting variable I found was in the file named "statistics", there's a variable named "is_deleted" which is set to false. This makes me wonder if,...
I made no changes to any of my posts or comments, though I haven't been particularly active on Reddit. It has been un-usable for a long time for me because it seemed like every time I tried to make an original, thoughtful post, it would get auto-deleted by a bot because I didn't include the correct "flair" or some other non-sensical bull, yet others could just spam those same subreddits with memes and nonsense without issue. I would comment occasionally, but that's about it.
It might be a good idea though to go through and check my comments to see if anything looks out of sorts or was edited without my permission.
Yeah my whole export was only like 3MB of CSV files, so I'm guessing that any media you upload just gets dumped into a giant bucket with everybody else's stuff and then referenced by your post or whatever. Kinda makes you wonder if that stuff gets deleted if you delete your account.
Reddit went through some issues for many on Monday, with the outage happening the same day as thousands of subreddits going dark to protest the site’s new API pricing terms....
Exactly. If people want this protest to be taken seriously, they shouldn't have pre-emptively announced it would only be 48 hours long. 48 hours is nothing to worry about when you know it's coming. Like you said, they'll just blame the lack of engagement on server issues.
