This is a done by comparing the comments being stored in [Jason Baumgartners](https://pushshift.io/) [Pushshift Reddit API](https://github.com/pushshift/api) and the ones from Reddit API. The frontend is written in [React](https://reactjs.org/) and uses [Sass](https://sass-lang.com/) as the CSS Preprocessor. There is also a seperate [backend](https://github.com/JubbeArt/removeddit-api) used for storing what threads that have been removed by mods. This backend is really just a mirror of [/r/undelete](https://www.reddit.com/r/undelete/).

<h2 className='todo'>FAQ</h2>
<b>Q: I posted some sensitive information on Reddit. Can you delete this from your page?</b>
<p>a</p>
<p>
No, I can't remove anything myself since I am not the not the one storing all the deleted comment.
This is done by an external service run by Jason Baumgartner (<a href='https://www.reddit.com/user/Stuck_In_the_Matrix'>/u/Stuck_In_the_Matrix</a>).
If you want something sensitive removed permanently you should contact him.
</p>
<b>Q: How does it work?</b>
<p>
This page is only possible because of the amzaing work done by Jason.
His site <a href='https://pushshift.io/'>pushshift.io</a> activly listens for new comments on reddit and stores them in his own database.
Then sites like removeddit and ceddit can fetch these comment from pushshift.
Removeddit know what comment reddit shows (from Reddits API) and what comment should be showed (from Pushshift).
By comparing the comments from these 2 APIs, we can figure out what has been deleted and removed.
