Worked for me too. I remember lots of complaints about those tools not working during the api drama, some including clashes with devs of a couple similar tools/extensions having to defend their tool.

Was curious enough that I followed up on a bunch of my own comments and spot checked a bunch of random ones from those threads months later. Didn't find any that were deleted then restored. Literally not one.

Still run into gibberish comments on search results today, so clearly those were never restored.

It really seems more likely that the "reddit restores comments" push was either the comments never got deleted (user error, tool being overwhelmed, etc.) or bad faith actors trying to keep people from nuking their shit.

Etiquette aside, this is just functionally bad. It took db0 months to notice because the frontend didn't get updated until an instance upgrade. Seems like that would be pretty common and vary widely between instances, making updating the list a slow, unreliable process. Even if they wanted to censor sites themselves, it would've made more sense to have the list itself remotely hosted so it could be updated without waiting for full instance upgrades some months later.

From the summary:

Simply stretch a rubber band around the tines of the GFY. Then put a grocery bag around those tines. Slide the apparatus over the spy camera and then pull down gently so the rubber band slides off the apparatus and cinching the bag to the spy camera. The screw head fits the typical handles for things like brooms, paint rollers, etc.

This device doesn't cover the lens directly, it helps you use a pole to get a plastic bag up to hard-to-reach places.

I've manually gone to old.reddit on mobile for years because the normal site blocks scrolling to advertise the app after a bit.

I've had an extension on desktop that redirects all reddit urls to old.reddit for even longer, since it comes up in search results so much.

Neither of these require being logged in today.

I never got around to changing from PIA when they were purchased years ago. Haven't found any practical reason to change since, and though I get the backlash over the purchase.

My main use case is keeping my ISP from cutting me off for seeding, and it's done that reliably.

could further enflame mounting criticism that the project was rushed and potentially improperly completed.

Potentially?

We were promised a result that "will last for at least 50 years" and "if you had a knife, you couldn't even cut it" that didn't make it a month. This situation is my current litmus test to determine if I'm interacting with a propaganda bot or not. This job being improperly completed is potentially the most certain fact in the news today.

I have ignored hundreds of personal attacks directed at me by an individual who hides behind a computer screen,” Smith’s apology said.

Smith was said to have approached Couvillion from behind while the latter man was seated on an elevated stool at the restaurant bar celebrating his 59th birthday with his wife. Smith then, without warning, placed Couvillion in a chokehold and slammed him to the ground backward

Implying the guy's cowardly for talking "behind a computer screen" (as though that's not how most communication works in 2026) but also literally attacking the dude from behind. Whats a sensitive, hypocritical little bitch.
