Reddit is actively restoring deleted comments and posts. Deleting your account won't make any useful difference. Instead:

Keep the account around but use some tool to delete all comments and posts everyday. I use Redact app on Android but there're many others. Reddit would not be restoring comments and posts if they are not useful to them. By keeping your profile and keep deleting everything, you are denying Reddit any chance from making use of your data.
Monitor when subreddit opens poll for re-opening and vote the "best" option.

btw, no need for an app use https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite. Login to old.reddit.com and then use the bookmark

Honestly, I tried a few days ago. I researched it with all my tendies. I saw the PDSuite script on github with no step by step instructions and hit the limit of my competence. I then deleted my account. The github people are saints for posting such treasures, but they assume you know how to use a command line. I wish I had known there were other solutions. I have few regrets, however, because I spent almost all of my time as an unpaid data farmer on Noncredibledefense, so they have to sort through THAT to make money. They can't use my comments to train an AI, because then it will be a based chad tank obsessed degenerate who watches nothing but Perun and Lazerpig.

Power Delete Suite is not a command line tool, you save it as a bookmark on your browser. There's an image explaining what to do: visit the linked page and drag the big red button to your bookmarks
