I mean, those of you who used to have 10+ years old accounts that then went and overwrote them using something like Shreddit or Power Delete, how long did it took for it to go through all that?

It’s possible, but considering the storage cost of not just storing and caching every message on Reddit, but also every revision of it would likely be prohibitively costly, and probably not a priority, there’s just no money on it. It’s definitely a possibility, yeah, but at least with them doesn’t seem likely. Besides, we cannot prove it one way or the other, so worrying about it seems like a waste of time.
But we can see that they’re bringing back the comments which have been edited, isn’t that the proof? 99% of the content is not edited so the size of the additional eddied is negligible. And I can imagine that they might need to do it because of some legal reasons so that people can’t remotely destroy evidence or something similar.
