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/).

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.
