Not my posts. Go ahead, look at what remains. The rest was edited and then deleted.

Fuck you, Steve. Right in the ass.

If only snapshots and backups were a thing...

[–] Todgerdickinson@lemmy.world 3 points 6 months ago (1 children)

Yea that’s the problem isn’t it. I had a great idea involving bullshit-efying my comments by editing them slowly with a LLM via long running script and repeatedly over months.

I realised that they probably don’t delete the original text on edit anyway which, as you say is probably buried in a backup someplace.

I don't think it is in backups only. My guess is they store your full edit history for each comment/post/whatever. Newest one will be shown on the frontend, rest is for data vampires

This is it exactly. Edits to use are "changed". To the back end it's just an iteration while the rest still exist.
