I don't know if I 100% agree with this blog post. Additionally, having foreign key constraints isn't a "catch-all" solution and breaks at scale. There's frameworks like Rails that can still handle these discards for the user via the `dependent` option on the model with some extra code.

At my current employer, we noticed that `acts_as_paranoid`'s default behavior was not what we wanted, so we migrated over to `discard`. We also added a concern that reflects on dependent associations, finds if they are discardable, and discards them if possible. And that cascades down, easing those concerns. This `Discardable` concern is automatically added to every single soft-deletable model and it has been working out great for us.
