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?

    How about [Removed by the creator because reddit is a dumpster fire that doesn't deserve this content/comment anymore] instead? It’s not a lie but still gets the point across and might have a better impact than “just” deleting everything.

      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.

    Some of the mass delete tools add a watermark, “edited with blah” or whatever, which would make it less effective. Personally, even though it might be effective it is also deceptive.

    I don’t think it’s a good idea, Reddit is already fucking itself up, it don’t need our “lies”
