But with reddit, you can also roll through every last comment you ever wrote and delete them (as it should be; you own the copyright to those comments):

You have granted Reddit a perpetual license to them though, so they can keep them if they want

Reddit still gives you the ability to delete your comments at any time. Hacker News does not.
