I prefer the interpretation where BIN = Buy It Now. So get into kbin now, basically.

Could probably modify @BotIt to get a lot of the current stuff for a subreddit.

If looking to migrate the complete history, it may make sense to combine the above with something that mines the pushshift torrents, to retrieve posts and comments that are no longer available on reddit's website or by searching.

I tried this back when it had the bug of not exporting your data but overwritting it, so I lost some content this way.

PDS really does need to be upgraded to support using the GDPR archive, but that's probably a fairly big task to handle.

Something similar to @BotIt I suppose?

Sure, and that's a problem. r/politics was too US centric which eventually drove the creation of other subs like r/animie_titties

There are (or were) a lot of corners that were an exception to the rule, for example I don't think that anyone would argue that r/de was very USian.

If it's public, please share a link!

A company headquartered in the US but it's a website that has a presence in many countries, including the EU.

Maybe not surprising, but they are probably shortchanging themselves by not allowing folks from abroad to contribute into the program. USians aren't the only content creators.

Shows how desperate they've become for content creators after the fiasco that was the third party app protest. Like, they're not profitable yet, and they want to give money away? C'mon already.

Check out https://kbin.social/m/RedditMigration/t/50981/Reddit-Data-Retrieval-Request-timeline-thread if you haven't already.

This makes me wonder if, when you "delete" your account, they just flip this variable to disable login but still retain all of your user data.

I'm pretty sure this is the case. At least within some short timeframe (say 30 days or something).

First, I've read on reddit about cases where folks had their reddit accounts hacked, and then the black hats deleted the accounts. But reddit was able to restore them.

Second, I got permabanned, so I eventually left reddit and deleted my account. However, if you try to visit my account, you see that my account is blocked instead of seeing the user deleted account message.
