They're just reporting on the AMA, they don't know anything we don't already know.
That article is terrible, incidentally. It didn't cover what really happened with the Apollo dev and just parroted spez's talking points as facts.
Also, fuck u/spez.

If I select "All" it starts loading new content at the top and pushing everything else down, which is frustrating if you're just scrolling and trying to read post titles. It's also kinda cool that it loads new stuff in real time... just wish it were an option I could turn off.
She's certainly an intelligence threat.
It's like watching people drill holes in a sinking boat to let the water out.
It's an interesting thought experiment, I even wonder that about myself. I started using reddit in 2007 and I don't like how attached to it I am, but I also can't deny it.
I don't think they'll 180 in any event unless there's a full management change (which has still failed in the past). Their hands are being forced by angry investor money, one of the most powerful forces in the universe, and they obviously have no clue what they're doing or how to respond... what competent business would pour gasoline on a roaring PR fire by repeatedly shoveling dishonesty and disrespect in everyone's faces?

Some companies have to enforce retention policies for business and/or legal reasons, which means they actually have to delete your data if they say they will.
Some sites only "soft" delete things because it's simply easier and cheaper.

Nobody should ever once in their life assume that data they post online will be discarded, ever. Maybe it will, but never assume it will. Even if you run the server yourself and delete the data files on your server and send the hard disks into the sun, if the data was ever accessed, you should treat it as if it's been captured and retained somewhere.
