Do the advantages of deleting one's entire Reddit history outweigh the disadvantages?
I have previously nuked my first Reddit account because it felt satisfactory to be completely detached from a platform one considers unethical/bad. Though, I have garnered quite some history on a second account—because Duty Calls*, of course—and I'm considering doing the same.
However, I don't want to do it impulsively. I think I might be blind to some disadvantages. What do you think?

Deleting posts is basically pointless - reddit keeps everything you delete, it just is no longer shown to front end, regular users.
If you are concerned of your posts and comments being used to feed openai, its way too late
What's better is to edit every comment and keep your acc active so they can't roll it back.
I asked through support whether they keep previous versions of edited comments and posts, which they claimed that they don't.
I just mass-edited my Reddit account with https://github.com/j0be/PowerDeleteSuite. Powerful features and free.
