I changed the technology which the software depend on to a private framework I built on top of Zendriver. The reason I changed the framework is because Playwright and Selenium are easily detected by Reddit, unlike Zendriver that uses CDP to connect to Chrome.
I also added functionality so that you only need to provide the bot with plain usernames of users you want to DM, unlike the older version which required you to get a datapoint Reddit has on its backend.
There are three versions of the bot, Selenium, Playwright, and Zendriver. Zendriver version is tested as of the 22nd of April 2025. Zendriver version performs better than the rest.
