Deleting a post is simply marking a piece of text so nobody sees it, but I think the text is still stored in their servers.

Furthermore, a large company like reddit, must backup regularly, meaning there must be several copies of my posts in several SSDs. If the backup once a day… some of my posts are 5 years old.

Companies exist to make money. I suspect they just marked my posts not to be readable by anyone, except staff and they can still monetize them.

Am I wearing a tinfoil hat way too often?

    “the internet is turning into a hellscape so I’m going to make it worse”

    Cool? I guess?

      Reddit is turning into a corporate hellscape so I’m going to help make it worse.

      FTFY. The community didn’t start this and Reddit shouldn’t succeed just because we want good memes. There are other ways.
