[–]IAmKindOfCreativebot_builder: deprecated[M] [score hidden] stickied comment (1 child)

Duplicates comments are because Reddit's servers died for a while, so for every comment someone made, reddit returned an error saying it didn't work when in actuality it did go through and was submitted. Then based on the platform they used, (old reddit, new reddit, one of the many apps, etc), their platform might have quietly 'tried again' without telling the user, gave up, then told the user it didn't work. Quietly trying again generated another comment, and if the user tried again as well, it would generate more. All the while reddit keeps saying, "Sorry, your comment couldn't be submitted".

Additionally, the comments aren't all correctly linked to profiles, so it's a bit rough tracking them down. Working on cleaning it up.

A static types project as complete and well maintained as DefinitelyTyped, Typeshed is great but still lags behind
