That's not a bad point. I still get the occasional reply notification from comments many years old, from people who were looking for a conversation on a topic and engaged with what I said a decade ago.

I suppose it would be somewhat impactful if those comments were just empty voids, perhaps even moreso if they were all replaced by a message saying something like "I left reddit because of X, look for me on the feddiverse to continue this conversation."

All of my comments that I can access have been edited and left in place. Every one is now simply

"Deleted: I refuse to let Reddit profit off of my content when they treat their community like this"
