From https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/63220/What-are-you-doing-with-your-backed-up-data I guess https://github.com/deestan/PowerDeleteSuite has the 5 second delay fix in.
Unfortunately no version of PDS can avoid the indexing issue. If you need to beat there, there is a way, but a bit more effort is involved, see https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the
Interesting way of fighting back. But like - who cares? We' re on our way out anyways, who's afraid of a little automod here?
A couple things.
The original github for PDS, j0be github, has a bug (or more likely an issue that appeared after PDS stopped getting maintained). So it clicks the button too fast, and reddit doesn't allow that, so the result is that some posts miss the edit/delete.
There are other githubs for PDS out there that have this fixed, adding a 5.1s delay between simulated clicks.
Also, PDS is affected by reddit's 1000 indexing limit, so even if you used a fixed version of PDS, it's possible that PDS won't get everything, even if your profile looks like everything been overwritten or deleted, some stuff might have been missed.
Finally, the good news - PDS simulates clicked on the website rather than using the API and should work as long as old dot reddit is up.
I saw on one of the lives ( https://news.sky.com/story/titanic-sub-search-live-banging-picked-up-by-sonar-devices-deployed-by-canadian-air-force-12905748 or https://www.bbc.com/news/live/world-us-canada-65967464 ) that they determined that this was just "oceanic background noise" (from other ships at sea or something i guess).
Actually even subreddits are affected by the 1000 indexing limit IIUC. So we would have limitations on what content we could discover without an external source.
I guess we could grab from the pushshift torrents and use API access to grab as much as we can of the last couple of months? (Pushshift lost access at the start of May iirc so that's where the gap would start.) Also getting stuff from subs still protesting as private would be a problem.
Basically not a fan of the API approach.
thank you for your service!
Annoyed indeed!
Edit: wow, they have started going after private subs that were originally private (e.g. pre-blackout). https://teddit.adminforge.de/r/ModSupport/comments/14h0xw0/my_community_that_was_always_private_before_the/ (Though some of the comments indicate this might just be a mistake, still must be stressful for those mods.)
I would have done it on the day of the blackout but I wanted to get my oldest comments wiped out too.
Then a sub went dark and is still dark with some comments I missed.
So I'm waiting.
Considering deleting anyways even if they aren't undark by the 30th.
Went undark today for a day (maybe just a day depending on vote). So I wiped those and then deleted the account for good!
~~Nothing~~ Everything is immoral when you're a capitalist platform ~~wanting to make money~~.
Fixed that for you.
There used to be - there was a tool that used pushshift to find things even beyond the 1000 limit, but it stopped working after pushshift was shut down last month.
Even so, thanks to the hard work of that team, there's still a way to get everything (and I do mean everything - even stuff way beyond the 1000 index limit and stuff not found by the search engines). See https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/65260/PSA-Here-s-exactly-what-to-do-if-you-hit-the
Turnabout is fair play, after all.
