No they wouldn't. Numerous people are collecting all of reddit's comments. To say it is deleted when it is mirrored by a hundred people across the globe is a complete farce, and that is reddit's fault for playing into that lie. Things put onto the internet are almost always mirrored by someone. This is a truth that most people do not accept nor understand, and that is unfortunate. However, services like this can help to remind people that they should be careful when posting online. Truthfully I wish it was not that way, that deletion actually worked, but it just isn't the way it is.

Likewise, there is no distinction between deletion and censorship. This site is designed to expose reddit's censorship, however, self-censorship will be exposed by the same system. There is no way to make this work, reddit has designed their moderator tools to make it seem like people just delete their own comments, they are using it as a shield for their own censorship.
