Reddit is much more limiting in searching for past posts, and the API doesn’t support searching for comments.How to stop google drive spam This video will show you how to block Google Drive spam. “Pushshift has a very detailed system for searching through past content. That’s important because “Pushshift is critical to our efforts to detect repost bots, comment copy bots, bots that use ChatGPT to mimic human activity, and other types of malicious bots,” dequeued told Ars Technica. As a non-commercial and educational tool, Pushshift has an exemption to Reddit’s new API pricing scheme, but dequeued told Ars Technica that restrictions Reddit has imposed have “made it cumbersome to use.” Further, “most of the users who submit bots to BotDefense no longer have access,” the mod said.
Pushshift is run by the Network Contagion Research Institute in Princeton, New Jersey, and is said to be popular among Reddit’s thousands of volunteer moderators. The situation also highlights the importance of Pushshift, which recently lost Reddit API access due to a “miscommunication,” according to Ars Technica sister site Wired-but then regained it. The announcement also advised “keeping BotDefense as a moderator through October 3rd so any future unbans can be processed.” BotDefense “will continue to review appeals and process unbans for a minimum of 90 days or until Reddit breaks the code running BotDefense,” the announcement said. BotDefense has already stopped accepting bot account submissions and will disable future action on bots. On Wednesday, dequeued announced that BotDefense is ceasing operations. Dequeued told Ars that other large subreddits BotDefense helps moderates include /r/food, /r/EarthPorn, /r/DIY, and /r/mildlyinteresting. Since then, it claims to have populated its ban list with 144,926 accounts, and it helps moderate subreddits with huge followings, like r/gaming (37.4 million members), /r/aww (34.2 million), r/music (32.4 million), r/Jokes (26.2 million), r/space (23.5 million), and /r/LifeProTips (22.2 million). BotDefense started in 2019 as a volunteer project and has been run by volunteer mods, known as “dequeued” and “abrownn” on Reddit.
