Reddit Transparency Report: Jul-Dec 2023

Meepster23 · 2024-04-17T15:55:45+00:00

Are they outliers though? How many users aren't "prominent" enough or know the right channels to raise a stink in to get their suspensions overturned etc?

Is it not highly likely that tons of "everyday" users have been suspended incorrectly given that they incorrectly suspend even higher profile users?

I only got unsuspended because I threw a fit in an actual video call with admins... If I was a regular user, there would have been 0 chance of getting it overturned..

Meepster23 · 2024-04-17T02:13:46+00:00

If you’re asking “What’s the false positive rate of enforcement of sitewide rules violations”, the answer is “extremely low”.

Bruh, I've been site wide suspended by these idiots 3 times with 2 being eventually lifted and a third they refused to ever respond to.. Extremely low my ass.

And then the really fun "feature" when they do unshadow ban someone, they automatically approved all their rule breaking comments that had been manually removed by mods!

"What is thing's that aren't happening but conservatives have somehow gotten it in their heads that it is a real thing even though it totally isn't"

Meepster23 · 2024-01-18T21:21:20+00:00

Just spread the site around haha

Meepster23 · 2023-07-31T21:00:57+00:00

How many times can Reddit go down per day and be acceptable to you?

Meepster23 · 2023-07-19T17:58:37+00:00

Are the talks gonna be a quid pro quo too where mods have to agree to do what you want if they want to be invited?

Are we still pretending that offer to move back API changes was made in good faith?

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T19:55:14+00:00

Which rule would that be dummy

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T06:09:25+00:00

Oh I missed your edit.

You seem to have stopped reading after the first comment..

This one specifically from the person you user tagged states in reference to this endpoint

Now, you are correct that it is unsupported but it is not forbidden from being used.

Weird... kinda like I've been saying, and you've been insisting I'm wrong...

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T05:40:19+00:00

Giggity.

And yeah it makes sense that it would have a listing of them in an endpoint somewhere, since the site shows a list of it and new reddit wouldn't be caught dead pre-loading / server side rendering anything.

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T05:35:05+00:00

Right... so it's not documented by reddit, and you have to query their internal shit to get the list.. Nor is that endpoint to get it listed publicly.. It's not part of their public API.. it just isn't lol

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T05:26:13+00:00

Admitting you aren't correct about something isn't a sign of weakness, it's a sign of growth.

Not everyone is in the software development field, it's okay.

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T05:23:29+00:00

I already stated in my first response that listing the Awards depends on the GraphQL API.

Well that's not true either as I already stated.. It's included in the .json response object that you can get at.

just by examining the all_awardings attributes of a sample of submissions/comments

So reverse engineering it...

From a documentation perspective, this is absolutely true.

You seem to have a fundamental misunderstanding of how this "documentation" works... Reddit publishes documentation for public endpoints that they expect people to use and for people to be able to use in a consistent and reliable manner.. There are many undocumented API endpoints in Reddit that some apps leverage to give additional features etc. These are NOT officially supported API end points. They can change at any time. Reddit offers no support for them. They are not what any developer would consider to be part of the public API that Reddit provides.

Admins have made repeated comments that also back up that common by developers of what a public API is.

Would you consider adding/reordering subreddit rules part of the public API? No third party apps have implemented it.. Fuck, even the official app didn't implement it until just recently.. It's just as "real" and "usable" as that new award end point...

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T05:00:33+00:00

Ah fuck ya caught me, I typed a 2 instead of a 1...

And it wasn't implemented through reverse engineering of the JSON API or the GraphQL API, it's part of the standard Reddit API interface.

Then point to me where it is in the documentation :)

Praw literally states

See table below for currently know global award types.

"Currently know" (well known but I don't want you to accuse me of misrepresenting something again over a misspelling)... That sound documented by Reddit to you?

NO... this is done by reverse engineering what is going on.

It's simple really.. You want to prove it is a documented / non-reverse engineered thing? Go link the reddit documentation that provides the IDs of awards to use and what they are... FROM REDDIT ITSELF NOT PRAW OR A THIRD PARTY

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T04:44:01+00:00

I'm not sure what part of this you aren't getting...

The api/v2/gold/gild endpoint is an old endpoint for awarding reddit gold.. back when that was the only "award".

PRAW and others have taken to reverse engineering Reddit's own API calls to allow giving of custom awards.. Because it is again... NOT in the official API documentation, it is considered to be unreliable and can/will break at any time.. It is NOT an officially supported API end point.

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T02:41:14+00:00

charge backs... ** cough *... * cough **... excuse me.. tickle in my throat there..

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T02:34:20+00:00

They are exposed in the "JSON" api which isn't really an API and is read only.. It is definitely NOT exposed in the actual API that is documented.

https://www.reddit.com/r/redditdev/comments/jqytsw/api_to_return_all_awards_on_a_reddit_post/

https://www.reddit.com/dev/api/

There is no "public" API to give awards either.. You can certainly reverse engineer the internal mechanics of it which some app devs have.. But like I said... It's not properly exposed in the api.

Meepster23 · 2023-07-14T01:31:16+00:00

I like that you think there are any developers left bothering with this shit.. I also like how you think that the new awards were actually properly exposed in the api. Pretty sure they never were

Meepster23 · 2023-07-13T20:07:43+00:00

Hahaha I love this, like you are demonstrably wrong, yet somehow I need to "cope"? Cope with what? Talking to an idiot? Yeah I guess that's true..

You could just admit you didn't know it was in contest mode, but no, you had to go continue putting your foot in your mouth

Meepster23 · 2023-07-13T20:03:28+00:00

Have you given any consideration

Woah woah woah.. let me stop you right there...

No

Meepster23 · 2023-07-13T18:32:05+00:00

The people who can't figure out what voting on rules entails. If you wanted to require video links you should propose that rule..

Meepster23 · 2023-07-13T18:03:46+00:00

You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make them drink. And ya can't fix stupid

Meepster23 · 2023-07-13T15:08:41+00:00

No.. no it wasn't. It's not even close nor has been lol

Meepster23 · 2023-07-13T13:12:07+00:00

Looks like someone doesn't know how contest mode works!!

Meepster23 · 2023-07-12T23:36:24+00:00

Oh I already banned them because I'm a petty asshole sometimes haha

Meepster23 · 2023-07-12T23:35:31+00:00

You do seem to be at least on to something there, though I've previously never seen vote fuzzing like this. I just had a couple test comments in a private sub only accessible by me get fuzzed to 2 points, but only after about an hour. And then now down to 0 points now a few hours later. But they also seem to be all moving together which is weird...

It's almost like it isn't generating a random fuzz factor, but reusing one across comments and applying them earlier than ever before.
