The post is saying that if you delete your account, you lose any control if they restore your posts/comments. There is no “keep deleting” your account, cause that’s not what they’re potentially restoring.

blackout.photon-reddit.com seems to be down for me. Any idea what’s up with that, or other places that are visualizing traffic?

I could be wrong, but my understanding from Backblaze data/articles is that if your HDD made it past 1 year, it’s probably going to last at least a decade. Drives tend to fail early if they’re going to fail.

A warranty warning is fine, though still more obtrusive than I want personally. I haven’t lost a disc at all yet tbh, including well over a decade of pretty hard use one several. I’ve got local parity and cloud backups for when that inevitably changes though.
