They didn’t “say” anything. Look at the screenshot. There’s no body, just the headline. So they literally went to that sub asking if there was an alternative.
Here is the post in question. Same comments and everything but the OP post was removed from the screenshot.
First couple of lines from the post:
So, in the screenshot where it says it was "submitted by [deleted]": I can't be 100%, but I'm pretty sure that's what it looks like when the post was deleted entirely. It wasn't a 'blank' post. It was a rant against GIMP in the GIMP subreddit as someone else posted here.
No, the body is removed and replaced with a banner that says the user deleted this post. Only the headline survives because that can never be changed.
