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?

My opinion is that you have a dumb take, because Reddit does not give a shit about preserving information, their priority is making money.

Why the fuck would they care about being stewards to knowledge? That's Wikipedia's job, not Reddit.

So fuck them, I'm glad I'm making their toxic behavior encouraging cash grab site a shithole with my edited gibberish comments.

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

Damn, that's crazy.

Maybe someone should make a distributed non-corporate website that isn't tied to toxic profitable advertising models so people could discuss and post solutions to technical issues without fear of that content being removed due to their CEO arbitrarily deciding he wants to make more money by stroking the cocks of his advertising sponsors and making their brands feel safer by destroying the communities that the site relies on...

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
