    It is nothing more than performative because reddit still has the comments. Deleting them does nothing but make them not user facing anymore.

      I remember in the Exodus of Reddit that I was a part of, there was a program/script which would rewrite all your comments into mumbo jumbo before deleting them. Doesn’t mean they couldn’t still have the very original comment though.
