Sure, but it’s also very likely that reddit is still retaining all posts even “deleted” ones in their database. I can go look at the profiles of people who haven’t used their accounts in 12 years. I can use Arctic Shift to view posts and comments that users have deleted themselves… even from deleted accounts! All the data is still there. That’s why a few years ago when people were deleting accounts it was widely suggested to edit every comment into gibberish before deletion, so the final edit in the database would be worthless. I remember when there were extension tools to do it like NukeReddit that changed everything to gibberish and then deleted it for you all automatically. Those tools had stopped working by the time the exodus due to the API changes happened.
Anyway, I wouldn’t past that fucking pile of shit Steve Huffman to just be passing it off to Palantir because he’s such a little bitch.
That’s not how it works. I’ll throw myself under the bus for you. Look up “reddit.com/u/1831942” on the web archive. (This is NOT a plug) You can see random archives (non-personal) of my profile. It doesn’t matter if you deleted it. It sucks that the info is floating out there. Also, fuck reddit.
That’s my old account that I deleted a bunch of content on. My point is that it’s archived. When I said “non-personal,” I meant no one personally archived my posts. They were just web crawled. I was posting/ commenting often on a popular social media platform, so it was archived. I hope that makes sense.
I mean it’s still the internet and we always knew it’s impossible to really delete something from the Internet. There could be someone somewhere who archives all of reddit with all the edits, just because they can.
I don’t think people realize that our user information is automatically documented on a not-so regular basis. (By the web archive crawler) I’ve been curious about Lemmy, but I haven’t seen us on there much, lol. I don’t think we’re important enough, THANKFULLY.
I follow the lesser evil approach. I’m further away socially, culturally, and politically from the Chinese so all my tech is Chinese. Them having my data is less dangerous to me than just letting the redneck reich get it.
Yes I too can use web.archive.org

fuck, i didn’t find yours on web archive, but this makes me want to go looking for my old account.
fuck these ghouls, i hope having deleted it for a very long time now helps somewhat.
