they reconsidered when reddit realized that they could just use pushshift instead of making those modtools they promised

Reddit admins were also adamant that they can't store user-deleted comments and data indefinetly for legal reasons - one of the things I've seen mods use Pushshift for.
I really don't see how Reddit thinks that they themselves should have one data-retention policy for legal reasons, but then have an agreement with a third party (including automated data access) that pretty much ignores this policy.
