Why YSK: On reddit only the body was editable, so by knowing this you won’t need to delete or resubmit due to wrong URL, typo, etc.

    You should probably know that deleting your comments on reddit is pretty ineffective. They don’t discard the actual content of your post from their database, and there are websites whose sole purpose is to host undelete archives of reddit threads. I can’t verify this but I’ve also heard they’re rolling back a lot of comment deletion after the recent drama.

    That’s the part I don’t really get about people’s attachment to reddit identities, in hindsight that’s a ten year history of things I was dumb enough to share on the internet and I’d gladly wipe that slate clean if it were a real option.
