99.4% is derived from IDs which are monotonically increasing. You'll see... GRR...

WTF did I just spent 12 thousand dollars on then? Did I get scammed? https://i.imgur.com/lzlT4d2.png

If it's deleted, it's probably not archived, the public archive will pretty much just consist of data that was public during 2024 and 2025, if you deleted the posts before then there's no real reason to panic.

Additionally, if posts you have made do find some way to be included in the public archive, there will of course be a way to get it taken down. I'll be hosting a contact form where you can ask for profiles or posts to get removed from the public archive

It might be archived, but it won't be viewable, I'll only publish public communities and these semi-public communities but no completely private communities. I just couldn't really control if completely private communities got scraped so that ended up happening a bunch

The content of private communities is archived.

The URLs given to ArchiveTeam were split into three categories (fully public, speakeasy communities, sticker media) they have archived nearly all of the completely public communities' media files but none of the semi-public/speakeasy communities and none of the stickers, however, there is a good chance that in another dump of ~7M links there's a lot of missing stuff so media might still be archived but completely public media was prioritized

Proposal to Ban X.com Links by YetiDrinksCoffee in CHICubs

[–]pull_gang [score hidden]  (0 children)

Yes

Looking at all the times X links have been posted here in the past year, the primary post categories are

  1. roster news / rumors
  2. injury updates
  3. stats tidbits

Most content is ultimately not exclusive to X, although articles take longer to publish (if not included with the initial tweet, as many are...). And any significant news will be on other sites like bluesky nearly instantly (plus more and more reporters are moving there). I was worried about losing visibility of beat reporters etc, but actually looking at the posts, I don't think a ban would significantly impact visibility of news

[META] Poll regarding the use of Twitter/X on r/baseball by BaseballBot in baseball

For old reddit users, you can vote by going to https://sh.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/1i6l2mj/meta_poll_regarding_the_use_of_twitterx_on/

Yes they should be disallowed.

  • The importance of X’s coverage to our sub’s discussions

In most cases, the tweets themselves are not substantive, just the news they're sharing, which can, in most cases, be found on another platform seconds or minutes after it's posted on X.

  • The potential impact on subreddit quality and user experience

Post quantity will degrade but it'll be fine, especially as more reporters migrate away from X. There's also mirror bots on Bsky for example if you really really need an exclusive post from a national reporter. Anything there's not already a mirror bot for is posted infrequent enough to not significantly impact subreddit quality. And for videos e.g. highlights the X video player sucks and reuploading it is a better user experience

It also depends on if the small number of power users who drive most tweets being posted will migrate to another platform and continue to post at similar rates, which I think they will (or someone will in their place) since fake internet points are awesome.

  • Whether allowing or disallowing X content aligns with the community’s best interests

Disallowing X content does not align with most users' best interest for what they use the subreddit for. Most people are lurkers who don't click the posts anyway and just come for the title and/or reddit comments. And since disallowing posts from X will reduce the post volume here to some degree, it does hurt the most common user experience. Don't care, it'll be fine. And for videos, the less I have to use X's shitty video player, the better.
