I'm currently removing everything associated with my account with a fork of PowerDeleteSuite. This fork has a delay of 5.1 seconds per comment so as to not exceed reddit's rate limit of editing/deleting comments too quickly. I'm curious to see if my comments magically reappear after some time. If anyone is interested: https://github.com/gbf-dtb/PowerDeleteSuite

I saw another thread where many people were reporting their overwritten comments were reversed and returned to the original, even after multiple attempts. There's speculation about European GDPR violations. I'd definitely document your actions and if you find that they've undeleted your posts note that in the event of future class action lawsuits.

I'll just re-edit them. More load on the reddit API is not my problem.

This. I've wiped almost all of my posts over there but left the account active. To me, it looks worse to see a profile with a lot of karma and no posts/comments than to just see a deleted account. Kinda underscores what's being lost when people leave, and it's nothing to me to re-delete stuff everyday if that's what it takes.
