The vast majority of the time when I post something, I never return to it to check for replies or votes, don't care. I've said my bit, if someone wants to argue with me, too bad.

I agree. I wonder if they'll still be in trouble even if they open but require mod approval to post. Based on the first option the OP listed, they just want people to spam reddit for kbin/lemmy which is pretty cringe. There are a lot of options/alternatives out there which if people want to know about they should be shown most/all of them, instead of just one.

They're reverting them to the original comment, pre-edit and deletion.

I've started seeing threads on reddit now stating that deleted/edited comments are getting reverted to their original forms. This includes ones done from Shreddit and PowerDeleteSuite etc.
