One could just mass edit all their comments to contain some garbage with power delete suite. Of course they would have to hurry, as that relies on the reddit api for making the edits.

PowerDeleteSuite only gets the comments shown in your profile, which is limited to 1000 comments in each list: New, Top, Hot & Controversial. You need to do a data request which contains CSV files with links to all your comments, then you can feed that into something like shreddit, in order to get everything.

If one was to delete the top 1000 comments, then would the older ones be visible?

I had separate accounts for pretty much every community, so they didn’t have too many comments.

No, the list will appear empty.

At least, until reddit restores some of the comments some time later. That’s also been happening a few times over.

I wouldn’t hurry to delete your account, so that you can supervise this.

Edit: if your accounts have fewer than 1000 comments each then you’d probably see everything on your profile page.

Yes. For instance using a tool like Redact you can mass delete ALL requests as it simply pulls a new 1000 comments since it deleted the last 1000.

PowerDeleteSuite got 1495 of my comments. Double checked from multiple devices while logged out, it definitely worked

Same experience here with 2k+ comments processed, but I did use one of the forks that waits 5s between each edit/deletion to avoid getting rate-limited

Yes, because there will be older comments that aren’t in your New list but are in the other lists. However, if you’d saved a link to one of your older Top comments, you’d probably find there are still replies of yours underneath with low but positive karma.

I’m thinking, instead of mass deleting/mass editing, which would be easily detectable and reversed, manually editing high value comments like tech support or consumer advice.
