AmbientChaos ( @AmbientChaos@lemmy.ml ) English5•1 year agoThis is such an awesome project and something I had been worried about with reddit dying a slow death. Thank you for the post and bringing awareness to the project!

surrendertogravity ( @surrendertogravity@beehaw.org ) English3•1 year agoI’m not super familiar with the Archive Team - what distinguishes this specific archiving effort from the dataset that PushShift archived? Is this primarily focusing on archiving specifically media (video, iamges), or comments/submissions in the time period since PushShift closed, or everything from the entire time period from 2005 onward?

FaceDeer ( @FaceDeer@lemmy.ml ) English0•1 year agoI’m now seeing reports over on !RedditMigration@kbin.social that people who have deleted all the comments from their accounts - even those who did it years ago, not just in the past few weeks out of protest - are having all their comments reappear again. This apparently also includes comments that were overwritten with edits.
Scummy behaviour from Reddit, but a potential boon for archivists. People who are running backups or maintaining archives of Reddit comments might want to take this opportunity to re-check historical deleted comments to see if they can be collected now, in this remaining window of API accessibility.
