View submission: Advancing Community-Led Moderation: An Update on How NCRI/Pushshift and Reddit, Inc. are Working Together

View parent comment

Truth is that they don't care about social media moderation or building moderation platforms. That was just an excuse so Reddit would give them access to their API again. They're more interested in harvesting your data to uh combat misinformation according to the NCRI website

Yeah it's obvious the moderation tools that rely on Pushshift going down is all Reddit cares about here that Pushshift could bargain with, but why assume NCRI isn't working on misinfo? It's legitimately something that gets researched, and theyve published on it.

Pushshift has been 'harvesting' this publicly available data before it came under NCRI, and so have so many other hobbyists and archivists. Archiveteam and volunteers running their software still are

Reddit isn't closing off your data from anyone, the API is still open to everyone, including corporations who just need to pay for greater access[1].
