While I hate to do this, the Pushshift API is currently being used extensively by a lot of extremists who are using it to DOS / brigade other people.

Using the Pushshift API for coordinated brigades is an egregious violation of the terms of service for the API and any users found coordinating brigades will be permanently banned.

This block will remain in effect for a temporary basis until things settle down. No one deserves to have their safety jeopardized from others doxing and/or harassing that individual.

I greatly appreciate the efforts of the developer community to add tools that help extend the usefulness of the Pushshift API and encourage developers to continue building tools.

Please note that this block will not remain permanent and will be lifted when things begin to calm down.
