FAQ

Q: I posted some sensitive information on Reddit. Can you delete this from your page? -

a

+

+ 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 (/u/Stuck_In_the_Matrix). + If you want something sensitive removed permanently you should contact him. +

Q: How does it work? - +

+ This page is only possible because of the amzaing work done by Jason. + His site pushshift.io 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. +
