When I migrated to Lemmy, I left my Reddit account intact - just stopped using it. It included lots of tutorials, guides for things like buying a PlayStation Vita OLED panel, recorded Reddit Talks from the subreddits I moderated, the only source for certain bug fixes, and so on.

When Reddit started pretending this data belongs to them, and selling it to AI models, I replaced everything with gibberish and removed the comments. They restored a few, specially when they showed up on Google, so then I replaced them again, deleted everything, and deleted the account.

I had to redelete some of my comments 3 4 times before they went away for good. I should probably check again in case they came back.

Edit: Yep, a dozen old posts and comments are back again.
