You are both talking about what could happen. Indeed it could. Probably it won't, though, for most people.

- bee_rider 3y agoMany Reddit posts were automatically backed up by various services before the recent API changes. https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-see-deleted-reddit-posts/ https://www.makeuseof.com/how-to-see-deleted-reddit-posts/
- AlbertCory 3y agoBut not anymore?
- bee_rider 3y agoI mean I’m not an expert on how these sites work, but it looks like pushshift.io was collecting Reddit posts before the API access removed. Posts made after the API access was removed would not be in Pushshift. Posts made before, are still in Pushshift. Deleting a post from the site doesn’t remove it from Pushshift. So… kinda not anymore? At least not publicly, using the officially supported API.
- AlbertCory 3y agoThanks, I'm definitely not saying you can count on something being gone. But you also can't count on being able to recover it.
