There are some people, who in the light of the protest and moving to Lemmy, have deleted their accounts. Of these people there are also those who have purged their data, as in removed all their comments/posts.
If the purgers were content creators or support geeks, then the communities they interacted with might become a little "moth eaten".
Luckily, r/datahoarder has been looking into archiving reddit before the chaos.
There's a couple of scripts out there not just to delete previous posts, but to edit them all into gibberish. Even random gibberish for each post/comment. That's much more destructive to reddit's value and hard for datahoarders to detect, unless they started before the uprising and track changes.
