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.

My plan was to edit all my comments with a tagline like "this user has moved to kbin.social and will not respond to any DMs or replies as of 7/1/2023". I didn't post content at all but I have a lot of comments on discussions about some niche things and wanted to leave them there for future Google searchers.
