https://github.com/x89/Shreddit I’m not sure if this is even managed anymore but I always like this one because it would edit the comment to garbage before deleting it.

You can edit on this one too. Overwriting with the same length (which Shreddit did) doesn't really help with how storage architecture works these days.

I noticed that some time after I posted the above.

It may be a bit blasphemous but aside from it all being 2 files, I like the JS version a little better.

I guess this is on the frontpage because some people, in reaction to Reddit monetizing their content and ruining their experience, would prefer to burn it all down and delete all their history as a protest. I get the wrath. I don't get the action. I have 15 years of history on reddit. Half of my life. It's a journal, a testament to my growth as a person. I've said brilliant things, I've said heinous ones. I see some…

Going to ashes is the least of your worries. It was a cool project with cool leadership. It's been People Magazine for years. What has changed is that they're getting extortionate with the way they broker access to all the data we've donated.

It's not about what they owe you or me. It's about not paywalling the commons.

Whats more, as they're pursuing monetization, all your data is more for sale than its ever been. So it's not even Reddit you'd need to trust or have rapport with. They're using your misplaced trust and extending it to anyone who wants it.
