If you just delete the comments without editing them Reddit will reinstate the comment and just put a [deleted] tag in place of the username because Reddit backs up all comments and posts.

My understanding is that editing the comments creates a new version of this backup and therefore the old comment can’t be reinstated.

So it’s basically undermines reddits process of retaining information if all the information is tainted. It’s a big fuck you to reddit.

Does that work in America?

yeah thats true, but if more people migrating from reddit batch edited their comments it would take away a lot of their revenue.

this is the best way to do it

be sure to uncheck remove submissions and remove comments check edit, and place the message you want to overwrite all your comments with. Best to not make it something mods would take down tho

Im not talking about deleting comments, its been known for a while that deleting the comments is useless because they'll just put them back up with a [deleted] username.

I would say that in the last few years, receiving a site-wide ban doesn't necessarily mean your a "bad actor". I got banned when reddit when wild with hammer when elon sieg heiled at the inaguration. Was before this rule change so i was able to edit all my comments. But im assuming this happend because of the amount of regular users who got banned for nothing and wanted to protest the ban.

Just another way to control the narrative imo

Reddit is complicit with the facist takeover of wetsern democracy. I got banned from there for saying "the only good nazi is a dead nazi"
