A nice place to discuss rumors, happenings, innovations, and challenges in the technology sphere. We also welcome discussions on the intersections of technology and society. If it’s technological news or discussion of technology, it probably belongs here.

Remember the overriding ethos on Beehaw: Be(e) Nice. Each user you encounter here is a person, and should be treated with kindness (even if they’re wrong, or use a Linux distro you don’t like). Personal attacks will not be tolerated.

PSA: Reddit Power Delete Suite

The "edit comment" feature, whether paired with deletion or used by itself, does not work due to hitting rate limits. The developer is aware, but don't have capacity to fix it atm.

Some forks fix it. I didn't have the patience to figure out which ones did, which ones worked, or how do use their modified versions, so I made my own fork including a working "release" of sorts. It it rate limited to wait 5 seconds between each edit:

I tried to use PDS to do a backup and it is only downloading the last 36 comments. I don't suppose you have any ideas why ?

I did not try, but it's proooobably hitting a serverside rate limit. If you have the option to inspect the network responses, they may have some information.

Thanks, I'll try and work it out.
