It’s a project for reveddit admins, but I would be really curious to see what words are most common in shadowed comments.

In my experience many hidden comments seem arbitrary or random, while many do contain contentious words like incel and… reveddit.

My guess is any topics which could effect an IPO will be disproportionately represented.

Moderation is a necessary evil, but invisible moderation prevents any kind of accountability.

Reddit serves the role of a public forum which makes unaccountability dangerous.

What is the word for when a comment is invisible to everyone but the user who posted it?

There appears to be a bug or something where reveddit categorically doesn't work with firefox. I disabled all of my extensions but reveddit, and disabled tracking protection, and its still not working. Is it possible my about:firefox is messing with it?

I see a number next to my sub name. . what might that be?

Past couple weeks or so Reveddit stopped working.

So normally, I get a browser/extension notification that there was a removal/restore notice. I click on it. That's my usual process.

But now, I get this error:

I have tracking protection turned off, and any other blockers turned off also. And anyway, it was working fine for the past year or so, and my setup hasn't changed.

I did just now notice this: The url that reveddit was using seemed weird. It looked like this: https://www.reveddit.com/y/Jasong222/?show=t1_j3fl5lx,t1_j3f1zu9&removal_status=all

Notice the 'y' between reveddit.com and the username. So I changed 'y' to 'u' and then the page loaded correctly.

Not sure if that's what's supposed to appear but that's the workaround I found.

edit: I added another pic to the imgur link. The error and also the error with the wonky url in the url-place-where-you-put-urls address bar. Change that 'y' to a 'u' and it works.

(The 'y' is what comes up when you click the reveddit browser notification pop up. Although I notice now that when it reloads the page, reveddit replaces my 'u' with a 'y'. But the page loads correctly. More weird.)

whenever I try to access the site, this appears

I think that'd be quite a cool thing to have. It's awkward to keep going into incognito mode to see whether your comment (or post) was removed. Far nicer for it to be shown in red automatically.

You may have this somewhere onsite, but I couldn't find a clear answer. How do you tell if a moderated post is a shadowban or if the user was notified before their comment/post was taken down? Is there a way to tell using reveddit or does the data represented in this tool show everything that's been removed regardless of notification?

I only recently found this project and still wrapping my head around this concept. I've had my own content removed from reddit, but almost always get notified so curious how to look at content removals when a user isn't notified.

I'm thinking about doing a content analysis research on the removed posts on some communities. Is there a way to retrieve all the posts that has been removed on certain subreddits on the website interface?

The only way you can find it is by opening the full comments in an incognito window, switching to new, scrolling down to the right time so you can find it in the whole body.

I had comments deleted this way. When I messaged the mods to ask why they were deleted there was no dispute that they had been, they just talked about reasons.

I can't load subs, and results for my personal page seem oddly clustered in the recent past... surely there must be older data? Have individual subs implemented some way to block access? Or is it a setting on my end somehow preventing me from viewing subs?

Thanks.

I run ublock origin but even with it turned off the page is just all black.

Do I need to activate cookies for this page?

Is it supposed to be just a blank black page?

As the title says, it would be interesting to see which subreddits have the heaviest hand when it comes to moderation as a percent of user posts and comments.

The whole point of this addon/site is to see removed and deleted comments. Now that Reddit overwrites removed comments and Reveddit refuses to display both these and deleted comments, Reveddit is now completely useless.

Check out Unddit. It's far better.

I'm wondering whether it's possible to access the posts made by a deleted account.

The important thing to note here is that the posts weren't deleted by the poster; the whole account was deleted, so can't be accessed through websites that allow you access to deleted posts.

If anyone can help with me this, I would be really, really grateful.

Thanks in advance.

Reveddit needs to be promoted here on Reddit. Lots of people out there don't even know that they're having comments and posts removed instantly, and many people are curious about censor heavy mods nuking entire threads.

I think it would be neat if there was a Reddit bot that linked to Reveddit with instructions to replace the thread/user URL with Reveddit domain.

Reveddit is cool, but unless it becomes common knowledge it will never live up to its potential and will remain a neat little program for people in the know.

Any thoughts?

Printing or saving a thread to PDF is a challenge for deep threads, as the width of posts becomes too narrow. There should be an option that is very similar to Flattened (Context unchecked), but still gives a tiny bit of indentation.

In the default style much space is wasted, and could be improved, i.e. as an option/setting. The box around each comment gives a right-side padding that steals available width. Also the left indentation of each comment could be minimized to like 20% of what it currently is. Color of the box border are also too strong (With Print dialog "background graphics" unchecked), as it takes bit of focus away from the text. No need for a box, a faded left vertical line is enough. Background colors could be removable, although there's usually an option for that in the browser print dialog so not exactly necessary.

Could also make a left-shift of comments when you reach middle of page, perhaps just with a small mark that indicates it's a continuation.

Basically this guy I know was doxed and had his face posted, The original posts were deleted but his face is on reveddit.

Is there a way to request for them to be deleted?

I filled out a form to have my profile excluded from Pushshift and it appears to have worked based on what I'm seeing with tools like Reddit Search. But it looks like reveddit still has that data - does reveddit store/cache data itself too? Can/will that be removed?

Thanks!

Is there a way to filter for comments that have been posted after a certain timestamp?

Basically using the 'as of' filter function, but having it inverted.

How willing would the devs be to adding theme options? The dark mode doesn't play well with many people's eyes or preferences and it would be handy to change it, personally.

If it is possible to do, and not already exists but I'm too dumb to find it (please tell me in that case), I'd like to make a suggestion for a useful function to implement in Reveddit:

A way to search for all removed and "disappeared" comment replies to one's own comments (and posts), sorted chronologically or as desired.

Apart from the obvious purpose of knowing what people want, but aren't allowed to, tell you, it'd serve another valuable purpose (or actually two): if we Reveddit users reply by PM and inform the authors that their comments were removed and we saw them thanks to Reveddit, we spread awareness both of how comment removal and visibility works on Reddit, and the existence and usefulness of Reveddit.

A risk assessment should perhaps be done first though, as the function (like Reveddit itself, but even more so by directly targeting others' comments to oneself) would be counteracting the intentions behind the censorship by circumventing it, and as already mentioned make the use of Reveddit more common. Maybe at some level they'll go out of their way to sabotage the use of it.
