      While that’s the correct thing to do in my opinion, it would be a mistake to assume that Reddit didn’t store your original comments.

      By corrupting their dataset, you may actually be helping them recognize maliciously edited comments.

        They were fairly specific about not doing that (I’d imagine largely because of GDPR).

        I deleted 10 years of “content” before I left and checked their policies. They apparently actually do properly delete from their servers.
