Uneddit and Reveddit, at least, do not archive comments deleted by the user that posted them. They archive comments deleted by moderators and admins.

This is not true: these sites rely on Pushshift, which archives ALL comments (at the time of their creation), and Pushshifts data is then compared with Reddits data, allowing it to work out which comments have been deleted.

You can request your account not to be (publicly) archived on Pushshift.
