This is why Power Delete Suite edits the comment before deleting it. If Reddit is keeping a record of deleted posts and comments, then theoretically they'd only be left with a bunch of comments that say nothing. But I'm pretty sure that if they're keeping deleted comments, then they're also keeping edit histories.
I imagine they have full offsite backups they can pull data from. That's why we have documentary shows like Mr. Robot, never forget 5/9!
