That's why I edited everything before deleting it.

I did this too but reddit reverted everything back to how it was and undeleted my account

Looks like me too. Time for a cease and desist.

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

Version control mother fucker, do you speak it?

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 it was literally just rolling back. Theoretically there might be a limited number of revisions available but if you believe that I have a bridge to sell you. 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
