What are you doing with your backed up data? (kbin.social)

Using PowerDeleteSuite (https://github.com/deestan/PowerDeleteSuite) I pulled my 16 years of content and overwrote it with a message that the content had been pulled due to the consistent closing of source, disrespect of mods, their tools, and the communities good will in content creation I've seen since '07. So now I have this big booty json file with all my history.

Thoughts on what to do with it besides just toss it in an archive locker I might feed into an LLM one day to get random data from?

So PDS saves in a CSV format.

Did it really work for you? For me not only did it hit the 1000 indexing limit, but the CSV actually came back truncated so I actually lost content.

Edit: but I see you got it from a different github than I did, hopefully yours has that bug fixed.

What I did is use @trent 's reddit-migration script, with some modifications to save my content in a plain text file.

Then I am slowly going to find magazines here in the fediverse and slowly repost my content. I've already done so for /m/Animorph for example.

Nothing yet as I don't know how to put it in a usable format for me, nor have I been assed to look for a way to do so. So right now, just sitting on my treasure trove of data

Maybe a bunch of people should get together and offer it for free to AI services, just to further dig into Reddit's IPO stuff?

"Why would we buy it from you - especially at those prices - when we can scrape it and also get it for free from users you pissed off?"

No helpful thoughts, just had to comment on "big booty json file" 😅

Now I can't think of a large JSON file without wondering if it has a donk.

E: "now in BBJF format"
