    That’s why the move is to edit all of your comments into jumbled nonsense and then delete them.

      There is zero reason to believe the edit function replaces the previous post text in the database instead of just updating the posts pointer to the new text. Or maybe it would be more optimized to save the old text somewhere new. Editing posts might piss off mods, but I wouldn’t be surprised if the admins don’t care.

        I was in the process of deleting everything, 600k karma over seven years, and my account got permabanned. I don’t think Reddit is taking too kindly to their AI info being messed with.

      They can restore them if they want. A guy here was a kind of big user in some tech support sub. He didn’t just delete…he used one of those account scrubbers to edit over all his comments a few times before deleting nuking his account. Went back to look a few weeks later and all his answers were back.

      They don’t do this with everyone because most people aren’t important to making a sub look useful and attractive but…yeah. They have everything we all ever said stored.
