Remember the people who edited their comments where it said that they were editing their comments to protest? Then they deleted their accounts.

What if you people who mass-edited your comments edited it instead with [ Removed by Reddit ]? Like, you edit all of your comments (not posts) with [ Removed by Reddit ], so if people see your comment that has lots of upvotes replaced by [ Removed by Reddit ], then they will think Reddit is censoring information.

This is kind of accurate because Reddit is known for removing random information and punishing people for ridiculous reasons. This feels like an effective way to protest. So what is your opinion about this idea?

The idea was to fake Reddit removals so the users would think Reddit admins censor information. Remember, you cannot see whether a comment is removed by Reddit or faked by a user. Only posts show that on new.reddit.com, though reveddit.com can indicate whether a comment was removed by Reddit or not.

I don't think we should be making up stuff for redditors to be upset over when there's enough stuff Reddit's actually done to be upset over.
