I might get “cancelled” for this, but hear me out:
If you remove your account bad actors won’t be able to identify you unless they put in the effort. Reddit staff will revert popular comments and posts to the way they were before the Blackout. Mass-scrambling your posts and comments with a “f*ck Spez”, followed by a long chain of "A"s or whatever, annoys people who are just trying to find an answer to something on Reddit, and it doesn’t help anybody except the user’s feelings.
The preservation of information comes above some moral feeling.
Your opinion?
Wikipedia does not have articles about fixing certain issues or bugs on videogames (or software in general) Reddit does
Someone has an issue, someone write a reply with a possible fix. That’s mainly the use of reddit (at least for me). People editing their posts will let other people from the future who may have that specific issue with no solutions
Removed by mod
Unrelated. Kbin and the rest barelly have this kind of content/knowledge that has been accumulating for years
I’m not saying it wont happen in the future, but, deleting or editing you comment history on reddit does more harm that good to us, the users
