oh definitely, when I left reddit (ahead of the curve), I made sure to mass edit all my comments and posts and everything I could find one way or another, to leave as much shredded garbage behind as I could. But I still wouldn’t be surprised to find them analyzing the time of such mass edits and preserving a snapshot of content from a user before such an event.
Incidentally, do you know a way to overwrite you comments now? My 15 year account was banned for absolutely ridiculous reasons, but all of the options to blank out my comments cost money or require having a reddit dev account. Which, obviously, I cannot acquire.
They still keep those comments as training data I’m sure. Likely even the overwritten ones.
Probably. It probably still feels nice to take a hatchet to it and limit reddit’s value to others going further. As anti-social as that sounds.

No, I haven’t used a login to that place in 4 years or so
Edit to gibberish, then delete. Sure they have the history, but it’s harder to walk back edits at scale than it is mass deletion when cleaning data.
