Once things start stabilizing from the latest influx, I feel like outreach like that should be the next phase

Somebody pointed me to this fork of power delete suite: https://github.com/deestan/PowerDeleteSuite
It takes a while longer to run because it waits in between each edit, but best I could tell it got each and every of my 2000+ comments. The original version got most of the edits eaten by rate limiting and only got 25% of my comments at best.
When I heard about the change to block unregistered users from even reading tweets, I wondered if it affected embeds too.
One of the few good things to come out of this mess if it stops news sites from writing articles that are little more than 6 tweet embeds back to back.
A wiki on the esoteric lore of Lemmings isn't a business.
Just replaced my launcher icon for RIF with Liftoff
Interest rates had been historically low for a long time. Loans were cheap and venture capital was flowing freely. Tech companies could focus more on growing their market share with lots and lots of runway before they needed to become profitable.
Then during the pandemic, Congress gave a massive bailout to businesses. Inflation went skyrocketing, and the Fed had to raise interest rates to limit the damage.
Now money isn't flowing nearly as freely for tech companies. Loans are more expensive, and investors are more content to leave their money in high-yield bonds instead. Tech companies are pivoting to stop chasing market share and instead start taking their profits from their current market share, even if it means their market share stops growing.
Redditors don’t doom-scroll—they engage with intent.

Meanwhile everybody's discovering how horrible Reddit is at deleting stuff.
And that's before even getting into the fact that even IF reddit deleted it all, it's never gonna get deleted from Pushshift or the hundreds (thousands?) of copies people have downloaded from there.

wow look at this tshirt/gadget/macguffin that I absolutely must have! If only I knew where to find it...
I'm sure opening up all the high-karma-only subs is gonna go over real well.
And barbers/hairstylists. Unlikely to come up during a short visit though.
You've already long missed the boat for keeping fascism out of France if the sitting head of state is calling for measures like these.
This is why people on the left are so exasperated with centrists - they're so much more willing to take heavy-handed actions against democratic issues like "hey maybe police shouldn't be executing people" and are so much more reticent to even speak out against extremist views that have gained a solid foothold in France like "the progressive Islamisation of our country is calling into question the survival of our civilisation".
For some reason, they see the latter as much more "valuable discussion" than the former.
