I downloaded my entire reddit activity and have been going through it slowly, changing all my comments to links back to themselves. Today I got this:

    I recently got a shower of notifications for new messages on old threads. Like 7-10 year old threads.

    Weird thing is that these comments where posted that long ago.

    Best I can tell is that they used shreddit or deleted their comments, and reddit just reinstated their original comments.

    Essentially wiping your comments in a patternistic way won’t do anything.
