I won't delete my account immediately. I am concerned they will reinstate all comments in a month or so. Want to make sure they are not comming back before i delete my account.
Same here. Ran a script to edit and delete all my comments yesterday. At least cleared out the 1,000 that Reddit saves in your comment history. I’m not deleting my account yet in case they decide to mysteriously restore my comments.
I did the same thing and I saw someone here mention after they ran a script some comments magically reappeared some time after. I checked mine and low and behold about 10 (out of 4,500) reappeared so it wasn’t to bad editing and deleting them.
If enough folks do it, Reddit will most likely flag any comment edits or deletes that happen > 2 months (arbitrary) after the comment creation date.
Reddit already has the data and they will figure out a way to recover 90%+ of it.
I did the same with two accounts I have with over 100k comment karma each. Didn't delete the accounts (yet), but might as well have.
