It's funny because Ukrainian war videos are put into the main feed, and you can watch the videos. But when you click the title to read the comments it asks you to login for sensitive content.
It's such a shitty, buggy and slow website.
Why did you have to delete it twice? Once did it for me (kidding) But back when reddit was cute (long long ago) they had this thing where they’d ask “are you sure” a lot of times and switch buttons and stuff to trick you (in a playful way) I liked it back then
Oldlander extension for Firefox. Works great.
I hate the fact that reddit has so much valuable data in it, like thousands of extremely niche subreddits and answers to your questions.
I wish someone could just mirror it all
Actually, I found archiveteam's reddit dump. I think we can re-host this on activitypub, as a form of read-only, easy to browse archive.
The data is on archive.org is marked non-downloadable to limit traffic. I emailed archive.org requesting one of the 10GB pieces to experiment with. Fingers crossed
Doing it all at once could be tough, but 
one niche sub at a time maybe?
Yes, you'll have to download it one sub at a time imo. The issue is that Reddit hosts a ton of illegal content including stuff that could possibly be CP and bestiality, along with full service sex work, drug dealing, and shoplifting/stealing Reddits. Somehow the laws that took down Backpage and Craigslist personals left Reddit pretty much unscathed.
Spez himself was the moderator for r/jailbait. A large function of Reddit is to data mine people and then (I speculate) blackmail them later for this illegal/adult/unrevealed content if they turn out to be influential. This is also why Reddit is so extremely picky about their porn subs and who (in terms of adult Content Creators) they allow to post/interact with users, and why they no longer have mod transparency.
And before anyone starts calling me too crazy, let me add one more crazy conspiracy to the pile- the conspiracy that Ghilisaine Maxwell was a regular poster to the News subreddits. Sorry to link to this sub, but this does have the tldr of this conspiracy and links etc fornthe curious. In general r/conspiracy is a rightwing shithole ofc. https://www.reddit.com/r/conspiracy/comments/r45a5n/here_is_the_evidence_that_reddit_user_maxwellhill/
Epstein was a fraudster who, once he was caught, needed money. He got it from Les Wexler who gave him a house outfitted with cameras. Epstein wasn't a trafficker as his primary purpose. He was getting blackmail.

*had. I deleted all my posts that I could find. I hope many others did the same. "Conveniently" these assholes limit how far back in your post history you can go, and beyond that I can no longer delete comments because I can't systematically browse them to edit in "Fuck reddit!". :/
Wait, this makes it sound like you were doing it by hand? There's quite a few tools to do that for you, e.g. https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite
Does old.reddit.com not work anymore ?
It does - ever since the "new new UI" I had been using that exclusively. Still, there's a limit in how many pages back you can go in your comment history to edit / delete. If you happen to find one of your old comments by other means, you can still edit it - but not through your own history. But I see that long before that caps out, some of my comments have already been restored, after having been gone for months... Those fuckers...
Tiktok does something like this (yeah i get alot of tiktoks from some of my friends)
I always download videos to share over Signal.
I hate opening links to view shit.
Plus, I sleep better knowing this is what it takes to get into heaven. (Along with returning your shopping cart).
Protip:download telegram and use vid downloader bots to save videos
