> Somewhat related, does anyone know of a good tool to archive one's entire reddit history? I'd like to be able to dump all my comments, saved posts, etc to a folder. Even better if I can download whole treads, linked media, etc. Not worried about getting nuked for OP's linked example but I've gotten very interested in building personal archives of any of my online history.
I believe https://pushshift.io/ https://pushshift.io/ is purported to be archiving all of it, but after poking around I can't find anything past April 2020 in https://files.pushshift.io/ https://files.pushshift.io/.
> As a personal anecdote, earlier this year I went through and (tediously) saved my bungie.net account which contained all my Halo 2, 3, etc online activity history. Funny enough, just a couple of months later Bungie announced that they were shutting down the site, and longtime fans scrambled to save what records they could. Unfortunately the forums were gone by that point, so I lost a lot of my memories there, but today I don't remember how much time I actually spent archiving that data, I remember the memories that come flooding back whenever I look through that data again.
IMHO the problem with user account activity archives is that social media is social. I've got archives of my old Facebook activity, and it feels even more incomplete than only hearing one side of a telephone call. What I'd really want is an archive of every thread I've posted in, or even every forum for the dates I was active.
