Running the PDS fork with the 5 second cooldown right now to do editing of all my posts and comments. Will wait a few days before deleting my account to make sure they stay edited.
I wasn’t that active over the last 12 years, but it’s still taking a while. 3.3k karma here
Honestly hoped that they wouldn’t go full idiot…but sadly…spez is in charge. He’s an insult to the idiot community.
edit: took all night but 4k+ posts edited. Waiting a bit and checking occasionally to ensure they stay edited before deleting.
After I did my research on all the devs of the different Android and iOS apps…I discovered the app I had been using, BaconReader, was basically the only one backed by an Ad company (also somehow tied to Tmobile/Sprint). The rest of them are basically independent developers. So after learning that…not sorry to see it go. If there was some redemption arc by reddit I’d use another app. Good riddance.
edit: here’s the fosstodon thread I posted about my research: https://fosstodon.org/@thundergod97/110554562902608839
edit2: I loved using BaconReader…I was a premium user…but this information drastically changed my opinion of it.
PDS is a user script and it works fine so long as you use an edited version that adds a 5 second cooldown. Rate limiting is in effect so that is necessary to avoid that. The fork I’m using only has the timeout on editing…which is all I need it for. Currently working great
