Reddit did almost the same and don't forget guys to delete your Reddit account

It won't matter, they would have all of your comments archived already. Even if you overwrite them AI will be scraping the copies they keep.

it creates a lot of poisoned data especially if you like edit half your posts with nonsense

That's trivial to filter if you just look at how much time has passed between posting and editing. Reddit comments are only very rarely updated after more than a day.

sure, but the more you fuck with the data, the more it requires curating, the less valuable it becomes. I'm not entirely sure places like reddit even retain full edit history for posts over a year old.

I am alright, nothing interesting on there.

Still some narrow scope communities holding some people back (but it changes slowly).

Also, variety of porn is still better there (but lemmynsfw.com for the win)
