        Me, too. Is r/science still there? Last I heard they opened up the sub again, contingent on very specific benchmarks for Reddit making their app functional for moderating that I sincerely doubt they will meet …

      Any time I’d use reveddit or similar sites to restore comments deleted from there, it was always stupid jokes or anecdotal stories, never anything directly about the post.

      I think /r/science is misunderstood. The moderators had quite a clear vision on the kind of discussion they wanted and the kind they did not. This caused some friction every time a post reached /r/all but I don’t see that as a bad thing.

      If anything that’s an ideal situation. People encounter a new community they’re interested in, break some rules in ignorance, the mods interfere and the violations are rolled back, the new users then either follow the rules or leave.

      Not sure how they’re doing with the API changes, pretty sure they had some automation going. Don’t think they’re compatible with reddit’s new view on making communities as interchangeable as possible to stop friction from interfering with ad revenue.

      I honestly think the Reddit thing is over. Redditors are a little toxic and condescending. There may not be as much content on Lemmy but it sure feels peaceful.

        Reddit notifications scare me, usually it’s a bot telling me I did something wrong or a human who wants to call me stupid and down vote my opinions. I stopped commenting because of this.

    I am ashamed to admit it but I was happy to have my search resources back when the protest slowed down till I clicked on a few and found out people with my interests care about Reddits bs too, therewasn’t much left of many threads! 😂

      I used web.archive.org to browse the Reddit communities during the blackout, I still actually use it in most cases because it helps both with subreddits that are still private, but also ones where people have deleted their threads.

      It might not work with every single one, but it should work with the ones that appear in Google.

      Also a lot of people remove all of their comments when quitting reddit. There are apps to do it, and thats what I did. So just from me there is over a thousand deleted comments to be encountered

        When you delete a Reddit post or comment yourself, it says [deleted]. When it is removed by a subreddit mod, it says [removed] or if at the end of a comment chain, just doesn’t appear at all. Occasionally an admin removed comment will say [Removed by Reddit] instead of just [removed] but not always.

        I’m happy to explain that, though it seems like farting in the wind now that we’re all gone, lol.

        Shame I could do a better job of explaining it in three sentences than I have ever seen Reddit do anywhere, though.

        Same here, but now I wonder if there was a app that edit all those comments in “fuck u_spez”

      It is, but its well worth it. What i found is that my comments from 2 or more years ago weren’t showing on my profile. So although my profile seems empty, I still have historic comments on the platform that I can’t get to unless I know every comment I made and where.
