LOL. I did the same. And I confirmed many months later that the comments were not restored.

Now I hear that Google wants to train their AI on reddit content. Haha. Good luck with that, Lorem Ipsum! 😁

If you actually replaced with "Lorem ipsum" texts, it would probably be easy to filter the garbage from the dataset.

Also, they probably have copies of the comments before the edits that are just not presented in the frontend.

I didn't. At first, it was basically a long ass message about deleting my comment out of protest. Then a few subreddit mods banned me, so I changed them to "almost makes sense" word salad 😂

I ran the script, changing the text each time, several times for good measure.

They still haven't reverted it, and it's been more than just a few months now.
