fyi here's the kbin localized url, https://kbin.social/m/random/p/535360/Kbin-covering-all-the-current-news-and-rumours-out-of

Oops. To clarify, these are anonymous posts on teamblind dot com, not on reddit itself. Then someone on r/ModCoord reposted this there.

The word is that reddit deletes are soft-deletes and a copy is still saved on reddit's database (but not publicly accessible to anyone outside of reddit), however the same word is that overwriting does in fact destroy reddit's copy of the original data.

As for people who want to get my posts and comments - this is exactly why I saved a copy of everything before overwriting. They can still find it, they will just have to scrape lemmy/kbin - or use the lemmy or kbin API - to get at it.

Also, the internet archive (who is registered as an actual library iirc) has a copy of the pushshift torrents covering all reddit posts and comments from 2005 to March 2023. So the librarians and historians who want to research this stuff will be fine.

Ah, gotcha. Sounds like we are in complete agreement then.

I did something similar - but i moved the kbin PWA into the old place of the reddit app (yes, i was actually a huge fan of the reddit mobile app, it was the successor to alien blue after all)

This is the way.

To be honest, I'm kinda okay if this powermod gets unbanned - as long as all the folks who got permabanned without reason also get a fair hearing to get unbanned.

This doesn't answer the questions. (How long was his account listed as a moderator for that sub? And did he even know about it? Finally, if he knew about it, why didn't he remove himself right away?)

Neither. It's an indexing limit. Basically you can only see the 1000 most recent posts, the 1000 most upvoted posts, and the 1000 most downvoted posts in a sub at best. (But there may also be overlap, so the total number of unique posts thru all three methods is less than 3000.) So you could do part the job on different days, have others help you in splitting the requests up, etc. None of it would help bypass that limit. It's like a limit on what you can see in the table of contents, but also if books didn't have page numbers and you couldn't get to a specific page unless you either found it in the TOC or else you had memorized the 19 digit access number.

I wrote about how to overcome it (see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the ) but this only works for the comments and posts of the past. Now that pushshift was shutdown we won't have access to such data going forward.

The changes include no longer requiring users to do basic research and lowering the standard for what the subreddit counts as spam

Like, Jeez Louise

Trending downhill...

In the absence of corrections, then, you can assume Reddit believes none are necessary.

Lovely.

So happy to see folks are still setting up new kbin instances like this.
