If you can open it in Vim, it’s a file.

Yeah, just muscle memory was there to go to reddit for about a week. I still kind of lament how easy it was to type “redd” with my left hand and the click it on the url bar.

So get this, I’ve been slowly injecting random characters into my posts. Just every day that I think about it I go through my history and ctrl+shift+9 to get a random string from Bitwarden and plug it in for a page of posts. I figured it might not look like a mass delete/replace as much as a scripted one is, and doesn’t take me much time.

However, I just noticed today that I can now only view 6 years of my old post history, while I’ve been posting for 12 years. this wasn’t like this earlier this week. I can even find 11 year old posts if I know what specifically to look for. I’ve even tried with the newer web interface and my history cuts off at 6 years.

They’re definitely onto us, even people doing it slowly.
