Original post? You can see deleted comments using a site made by a fellow redditor.

Or reveddit if it was removed by a mod and not by the user themselves (incase removeddit doesn't work)

u/Bigred2989- Sep 11 '21

I recently found out they made an add on for Firefox (and Chrome?) that lets you know on old reddit if you're posting in a removed thread that isn't marked such (such as if it's your own) and marks locked threads in the feed.

u/rhaksw Sep 11 '21 edited Sep 11 '21

Hey thanks for mentioning this! I'm the author.

Here is a link to that add-on which will redirect to the chrome or Firefox version depending on which browser you're using.

There's also a linker extension and another one under /add-ons for showing account ages *and karma up front. That last one also gives dates more specificity on old reddit, so instead of seeing "1 year ago" you see 1 year, 11 months ago". Reddit's date formats don't round up so it can seem inaccurate at times. Check out r/reveddit.

10

u/Bigred2989- Sep 11 '21

That last one should be useful since most troll accounts seem to be only 6 months old.

9

u/rhaksw Sep 11 '21

Yes, I forgot to mention, it also shows karma. So you can definitely identify throwaway accounts whether they are newly created or old with little history.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

I delete my account after 100k karma. So a lot of the time I have a less then a year old account.

u/Twostepjohnny Sep 11 '21

does your extension harvest my data and profile me? be honest now.

10

u/rhaksw Sep 12 '21

Absolutely not. I think users don't have enough data. Companies have all the information and we have no idea what they are doing with it. I think the public deserves access to social media content that has been removed so we can review it. Most times we'll ignore it and understand the removals. Other time times it can be telling, particularly if it's something we posted ourselves. A lot of people find this scary because they think unwalled gardens are the source of misinformation. However, when you provide tools to silently remove content, you enable people to spread their biases with no oversight. Many people are surprised to see the results of their reveddit user pages, or the highly upvoted removed content on subreddit history pages, etc.

The code that makes the extension is available here in case anyone wants to add to or review it. It uses Chrome's manifest v3 which is a much more restrictive set of extension rules meant to deal with abusive extensions. Eventually, Chrome will force all extensions to use that, and Firefox may follow suit too. Unfortunately v3 breaks a lot of cool & good-faith extensions but that's another conversation.

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Holy shit, mods delete absurdly much stuff that isn't an issue in the slightest.

Got asked if I mean group X instead of group Y
"100%, yes"

Got deleted. Why?

3

u/rhaksw Sep 12 '21

That's annoying. Sometimes mods set up automod to remove one or two-word responses. The best way to know is to ask politely via mod mail. There should be a message mods button next to removed content on reveddit that prefills a link to the removed comment in a message to that subreddit's mod team. And the extension can tell you immediately the next time this happens.

2

u/[deleted] Sep 12 '21

Good to know, thank you. I'd expect to see a "response removed due to rule X violation" message or something.

6

u/rhaksw Sep 11 '21

P.S. There are times when even the new reddit interface does not indicate when a post you're commenting in has been removed. I mention the ones I know under Reddit does not say my post is removed. Why does reveddit say it is? in the FAQ. Basically, no removal notice is shown on new reddit when,

  • you visit a link to a comment
  • the sub removes all posts upfront. Removal notices are suppressed for 24 hours.
  • it's a post older than December, 2019

And of course no such notice ever appears on old reddit.

Incase actually is a word (spelling variant of encase)

1

u/PeteBetter Sep 12 '21

Perhaps it is an incorrect spelling of encase, but even so, it doesn't mean what the person was trying to mean in that sentence, so it doesn't make sense.

Nah, I had a comment bookmarked that was up for almost a month before it was deleted and removeddit still doesn't work for it.

4

u/_Sunny-- Sep 12 '21

That's because removeddit and other Reddit archiving sites or services use the Pushshift API, which has had certain periods of time when the ingest is down. For example, going through my own comment and post history, there was a big blackout from April 9 - 13 where no comments or posts were archived, and others have found additional outages in the past. It's not that removeddit itself doesn't work, but the service it relies on was down for the time you're trying to query.

You can see in the r/Pushshift megathread that removeddit relies on the API being up: https://old.reddit.com/r/pushshift/comments/bcxguf/new_to_pushshift_read_this_faq/

  • It will not recover user-deleted comments (by design)

  • some subreddits archive faster than others. Controversial subreddits often end up with a delay, which means that comments requiring mod-approval before going visible may not archive nor may any comments

That would leave like 6 people actually willing to moderate the large subreddits.

Who would then all become power mods because if you think you want to be a mod, you're fucking wrong.

It's a full-time job, and a really shitty and unrewarding and unpleasant full-time job...

And not only is there no pay, but you will get nothing but blame and toxicity for it.

Any large open forum has this same issue, and there is no good solution that doesn't involve "have a professional and well-paid moderation staff", and even that one isn't too great.

If people weren't dicks all the time things would be different.
