    If we're speculating like this then it is certain that any government security agency with the budget and adequate level of control/coercion over the models or model providers is doing the same.

    So the user count doubled in mid 2023 as a result of Reddit's API changes, and has been stable since then.

    I discovered the Ubuntu forums post archive on GitHub and wanted to see my old posts from 2006-2009 when I was active there.

    Search results for my username only turned up one entry where it was quoted in someone else's comment, and I didn't find a browse or search for posts made by a user.

    So I cloned the archive, used ag to grep for /Posted by .* on \d\d\d\d-\d\d-\d\d/ and build a ~1gb text file where each line contains thread file name, comment author's username, and date posted.

    This allowed for subsequent processing to build an index for any username.

    I let Claude make the Python script to process the 1gb file into markdown index file for a user.
    It can create an index for every user, but probably not a good idea to create so many files.
