Paranoia is a re-implementation of acts_as_paranoid for Rails 5, 6, and 7, using much, much, much less code. You would use either plugin / gem if you wished that when you called destroy on an Active Record object that it didn't actually destroy it, but just "hid" the record. Paranoia does this by setting a deleted_at field to the current time when you destroy a record, and hides it by scoping all queries on your model to only include records which do not have a deleted_at field.

Don't delete your records, move them to a different table. Like acts_as_paranoid, but doesn't mess with your SQL queries.

Never Lose Data. Rather than deleting rows this sets Record#deleted_at and gives you all the scopes you need to work with your data.
