The reddit blackout is even more effectivte than expected! 5177/8829 (~60%) of subreddits are still dark [1] and the posts per minute are down to 1000 from 1400 [2].

This is huge. Subreddits were supposed to be back up yesterday. I personally missed Reddit the first day but now I am super comfortable here.

Glad to have found a new place to hang out!

Edit: Reddit has 100k subs, 60% out of those who officially signed up

I've been on Reddit for 13 years, and I'm hesitant to remove everything, in case I want to revisit some of my old posts/comments. Is there a way to archive your own content?

Power Delete Suite will offer the option of backing your stuff up locally.

Yes this is the way to do it. It includes everything on your account even if you've clicked Delete on it.

I left Reddit but didn't scrub any posts. Seemed a bit like cutting off your nose to spite your face. Although I do understand why others thought otherwise.

Huffman has recently made it clear that he wants to monetize user data, so I think that's a good reason to delete it, imho. I can still understand leaving it up as a courtesy to other users, but deleting all your content is a valid action imho.

I used Power Delete Suite to back up and delete my content. Note that there seems to be a bug in the archive export process though. I had to follow the advice on this issue to pull my full CSV backup.

Just had a go with Power Delete Suite, but the export is kind of minimal, so I think I'll roll my own with the API, while the clock ticks.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago (1 children)

Yeah PDS is a good start but has some issues, if you're comfortable with the API you'll probably do better there.

Behold, yesterday's quick 'n' dirty Python project: https://github.com/toonvandeputte/reddit_archive

Until the 30th you have the API, write up a little script. Either get the raw data or store a snapshot of the post on the website
