A screenshot, taken way before rexxit, of two comments on reddit, dated “1 year ago”.

The first comment is by a deleted user and the comment has been removed. The second comment is a reply to the deleted comment and it says: “That solved it. Thanks!”

Edit: added temporal context.

    I guess I’m about to show my age here but this was a problem on forums before Reddit too.

      I know and I foolishly didn’t consider that people might jump on the fact that this happens to have been taken on reddit (a year ago). Wasn’t even trying to say anything about anything, just shitposting.

      I used to moderate a tech forum and the number of times that people would message me to delete their posts because they figured out the solution was staggering so this doesn’t surprise me all that much that it happened/happens on places like reddit. People don’t think, for whatever reason, that someone might come along with the same problem as them.
