Yes, they have every single version of every single comment you ever made and can fetch whichever one they want whenever they want.
But reddit is massive. That is WHY it depends so much on unpaid mods (like other social media sites of a much smaller size…).
So unless you are a “top influencer”, the most they’ll do is revert your deleted comments maybe one extra version. So if you use one of the tools that edit it prior to deletion, you are in good-ish shape.
Which is what we saw during the “protests”. Plenty of people (self included) saw their comments come back. But the people who ran one of the editing deleters (with a non-default message) saw their edited messages return. Because that was the most recent on the stack.
Yes and no.
