    All deleting your account does is remove your username from your comments while also removing your ability to delete or edit said comments. It makes more sense to keep it active so you have more control over your data.

      Yeah, reddit is restoring bulk edits made using the api but you can still go to your user profile, sort by top scoring comments, and manually change your top 10-20 comments

          So you used it to only edit instead of delete? If it’s possible I might give it a shot

            Yep you can just edit all comments without deleting. I used to use the original version, but it didn’t work this last time due to their rate-limiting. Using that forked version with the delay worked, but it took a long time.
