The answer lies within reddit.

I wasn't aware of /u/PutItOut's below work when I got linked to this comment here, but I've checked into the github page and thought I might as well produce the result of my tinkering with the script linked above. You'll need to install praw and edit the script each time if you have multiple accounts, but after setup it's fire-and-forget. Note that there's a thousand-comment limit in the reddit API, so it can't touch anything older than that.

import praw
import random
import string

r = praw.Reddit(user_agent="Mass comment editing script by /u/suudo")
r.login("username", "password")
for a in r.user.get_comments(limit=1000):
        newtext = "".join( [random.choice(string.printable) for i in xrange(512)] )
        a.edit(newtext)

Posting random crap instead of a fixed message is a surprisingly fun - or, rather, seeing the shocking amount of the time it manages to produce valid markdown code in 512 printable characters is hilarious.

I really enjoy the devious bent to this. I wonder if the site maintainers will assume the data became corrupted before they realize what happened.

edits all comments to gibberish and deletes - it works, although some accounts with thousands of comments may time out and require a few sessions - but it seems to detect where it left off. ask voat co-founder u/puttitout if you have quesitons about it.

Works like a charm, though it sucks going to each page manually.

Is there a way to purge my existing comments and such if I've already deleted my account?

Well, it's been several months since I nuked the account, so I don't think "by mistake" is going to fly.
