Wouldn’t be surprised if Reddit ends up either banning people for this or limit edits on historic comments.

They already restore user comments against their will (and hilariously that’s also against their own reddiquette see extract below)

> Repost deleted/removed information. Remember that comment someone just deleted because it had personal information in it or was a picture of gore? Resist the urge to repost it. It doesn't matter what the content was. If it was deleted/removed, it should stay deleted/removed.
