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.

Also, if you're constantly mass-editing your posts, that's server load and bandwidth.

My choice of edit: "Spez doesn't get to profit from me anymore. Stop reverting my comments."

I believe I am noticing that you cannot edit or even see your own comments on a sub that's set to private, so you should expect some to pop back up as subs come back to being public again.
