I hope they delete all your stuff when your account gets banned because I’ve left at least three of those in my wake

    They don't delete your content, they just redact your username and disassociate each individual comment from your larger profile so nobody could, for example, click on the deleted user who posted a comment in r/abc and see they also posted a particular comment in r/xyz.

    The reason tools like Redact (many of them all use this same name lol) have taken off in popularity is because they delete, or redact the contents of your posts before you delete the account, thus making even that vestigial data worthless.

    I believe they are still there but hidden.

    Quite possibily it depends on the type of ban you received (e.g. spam vs inflicting harm on xyz)

    I know better than to threaten people online. It was all stupid political bullshit.

    That's not really what I meant.
    What I was trying to say is no ban is equal. Reddit may very well have nuance to bans they can utilize that will prevent you from just participating in comments/upvotes to full on shadow-bans.
