📣 Apollo will close down on June 30th. Reddit’s recent decisions and actions have unfortunately made it impossible for Apollo to continue. Thank you so, so much for all the support over the years. ❤️
I would highly recommend that everyone run a tool like Redact over your reddit accounts. Deprive them of your user contributions if they're going to play this way.
Do those tools rely in any way on pushshift in order to work? If so, I don't know if they'll work now since Reddit cut off pushshift.io's access to the API back in early May.
Kind of disagree... Not that I'm saying don't but I have Q/A for programming things and other topics that's years old. Its already been scrapped, and it is useful for others to find even years later.
Yeah, I briefly flirted with the idea of nuking my account, but before I deleted it I would get a comment once in awhile, on a post/comment from years ago thanking me for solving an issue someone was having. And despite how much I really don't want to continue contributing to reddit's profits, I felt like having that there for someone to stumble on after hours of searching and smashing their face in the keyboard was worth whatever reddit makes off it. Also I had some wicked burns on some fascist shit bags.
