I see where you’re coming from but I think who you wrote the comments for doesn’t change their value to society. Deleting Reddit comments to make a point feels a bit like burning books to me.
For me personally, the value of the comments remaining for people like you and me to have access to is greater than the value of potentially harming Reddit as a company.
I'm not supporting Reddit or their actions at all but these days I feel like the oligarchs always win so why hurt the little guy.

I would rather leave useful information where it is for anyone who needs it to find later. A lot of Reddit is on Archive.org and, like you said, their servers so I don’t really get what this accomplishes.
I want to transition off of Reddit but I'm not deleting my account because I feel like there's too much valuable information on the site to get rid of it all just yet.

Self hosted Vaultwarden. It's great.
Looks like !opensignups@lemmy.ml is the only one. By the way, you can use browse.feddit.de to search for Lemmy communities.
Canadian wild fires as well.

Lemmy is open source. Why not just contribute directly?
