I have to imagine that many people are deleting all of their comments / submissions.

  I can't imagine the DB load of hundreds of thousands of people deleting all their comments. https://shreddit.com/ https://shreddit.com/

    It's very likely that a deletion at reddit is just setting "is_deleted" to true in a row, not actually a proper DB removal.

      correct, if you do the data export for your account you get all of the deleted comments/submissions in the resulting zip.
