Yeah, the old Reddit codebase was super inconsistent about how it marked deleted and "soft-deleted" posts, and so we erred on the site of deleting stuff to not accidentally deanonymize someone.

But now that you remind me of that, I think we now have the relevant technology and understanding of the old DB to make it do the correct thing. I will give it a shot in the next few days.
