no it doesnt, you have to use an extension or a script to delete it. only shadowbanning prevents another users from viewing, but reddit still has access to it.

I’m unfamiliar with Reddit because I haven’t had an account, but can people delete their account on Reddit, and does that automatically delete all their stuff too?

No, you have to individually overwrite all your comments and then delete them to actually make them disappear. Even after all that workl some people have reported their comments returning.
Just checked my account and despite overwriting all my comments before deleting them…yeah, they’re all back now.

and this is why when I delete my comments on lemmy I edit them.

Lemmy deletes the posts if a user is banned from their own instance or you delete the account.

that’s cool. Reddit used to too.
I’m not expecting lemmy to be a dick about it, but call it insurance.
