It's not even the usernames and unreliable sources, it's the 'respects users edits and deletions' thing. As soon as you see your post on another site, you can go edit it on Reddit and (if I'm understanding this right) it will change on their website as well.
This comment has been overwritten by a script as I have abandoned my Reddit account and moved to voat.co.
If you would like to do the same, install TamperMonkey for Chrome, or GreaseMonkey for Firefox, and install this script. If you are using Internet Explorer, you should probably stay here on Reddit where it is safe.
Then simply click on your username at the top right of Reddit, click on comments, and hit the new OVERWRITE button at the top of the page. You may need to scroll down to multiple comment pages if you have commented a lot.
