A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated “1 year ago”.
The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: “That solved it. Thanks!”
Edit: added temporal context.
It’s funny to me that people seem to think your posts actually get deleted. I’m 99% sure they are still stored in the DB and deleting them just generates a new line in the DB with [deleted] as the content.
The irony is Reddit is still getting its ad views but users get screwed.
