For : before assuming 10,000 backlinks vanished, confirm whether the drop is in Google’s index or only in a third‑party backlink provider. Google Search Console’s Links report is the authoritative place to see what Google has discovered (it’s a sample, not a full dump), so export the “Top linking sites” / “Latest links” there and compare to your tool exports. ()

For (which tool?): use a simple workflow — 1) verify Google’s view in Search Console; 2) pull “Lost” / “Backlinks” reports from tools like Ahrefs, SEMrush or Majestic to see which links changed and why; 3) visit the referring URLs to check HTTP status, redirects, or content edits; 4) use the Wayback Machine to view the page before the change. Quick diagnostic command to check headers: 

curl -I https://example.com/possible-referring-page

This will show 200 / 301 / 404 / 5xx status that explains many losses. (ahrefs.com)

How to recover (practical priorities): export and prioritize high‑value lost links, then (a) if the link was removed during editing, politely ask the author to restore it; (b) if the referring page is 404, request a 301 to a relevant page; (c) if the link was marked nofollow/sponsored or the whole site was deindexed/penalized, focus on new editorial links instead. Only use Google’s disavow as a last resort and follow Search Console/manual‑action guidance if you have evidence of manipulative links. (ahrefs.com)

On ’s social purge point: deleting social accounts can remove referral traffic and any public links, but social metrics aren’t a direct ranking signal — they help indirectly by driving visibility that can earn editorial links. So ’s simple advice to “go to the sites that dropped your link and rebuild” is sound; prioritise outreach to restore strong editorial links and set monitoring/alerts so future drops are detected quickly.

@K. Just a thought. Would all the social media account purging have an effect?

Go to the sites which dropped your link..again do link building..it's as simple as that.
