Delete buttons cut both ways. You can yank content but so can others. Of course you don't have assurance it's been truly deleted and someone could save a copy.

Delete buttons cut both ways. You can yank content but so can others. Of course you don't have assurance it's been truly deleted and someone could save a copy. Even before I quit it was hard to tell if the submitter wanted it gone or if it was a technical glitch, censorship, or displaced by ads. If you want to be cynical it's kind of like the memory hole in 1984. More charitably, it's not that different from broken links (except that broken links leave a trace).
