    Ha! That just means all the content deleted by users who left Reddit is actually inaccessible.

      No, they reverted a lot of that. Bulk restoring even “overwritten” post data several weeks and months after the fact, after most people stopped checking.

      Plus it’s going forwards, so anything in the Archive already is still there.

          I don’t think they did. Unless you have evidence otherwise, I think this is a rumour which comes from a misunderstanding of how deletion tools worked.

          They did it to my comments. I had a like 15 year old account, hundreds of thousands of karma, and I deleted all of my comments that I could view in my profiles history and then deleted my account. Days later I found not only was my account undeleted, all of my comments that I deleted were back as if nothing ever happened - and my account was banned.
