      I edited everything before deleting it, double-checked it was still deleted periodically, and it all got restored sometime earlier this year.

        Just checked my old account again, and all edited content is still there, with “Fuck u/spez” appearing as the top comment in some posts that are like 12 years old

      But, in all seriousness: That is what they use for the comments. It is why a lot of the mass delete tools were “accidentally” undone during The Exodus.

Because imagine if A Brown Person wrote a message then edited it five times so that Chloe couldn’t alert Jack Bauer to who to torture
