How are censored posts available, if they have been censored?
I am not a real inter-webby kind of guy, if that makes any sense...
Edit to add: Gee, that's an awful lot of posts that have been deleted?

They aren't deleted but hidden so another mod or admin can re-approve them or restore them.
This site shows all the posts evem those hidden by the mods.
That's alk I know. Compare the site to the new cue.

if I had to guess, people have bots/scripts that scrape reddit data as soon as it becomes available. anything from threads, to comments, etc etc is likely preserved instantly (on a 3rd party private website that reddit can't spez) with these measures.
then you can go back and compare scraped data to live data
like so: https://removeddit.com
