Is there any benefit to editing all of my comments before deleting my Reddit account?

I was thinking of replacing all of my comments with either lorem ipsum, or something intended to poison the well for the AI.

    I see where you’re coming from, but leaving the content gives a reason for people to go to the site for that information. I wish there were a separate place to put your comments and posts before erasing it from Reddit.

      Any backup method still contributes pretty heavily to linkrot. But maybe for any significant comments or submissions, make sure archive.org or archive.is has the page. That’s something anyway.

      I can understand not wanting to leave them any scraps, but my preference for balance still falls toward leaving the old and deciding to focus on changing the future.
