I made a script that changes all my old comments to gibberish, but I haven't used it yet. I can't decide if it's a good idea or not. I'm not saying that my old comments are extremely useful, but I wouldn't want to prevent people from reading or having context or any help I've given.

    All deleting your account does is remove your username from your comments while also removing your ability to delete or edit said comments. It makes more sense to keep it active so you have more control over your data.

    Yeah, reddit is restoring bulk edits made using the api but you can still go to your user profile, sort by top scoring comments, and manually change your top 10-20 comments
