The way reddit has always worked is that if you delete your user account your comments become anonymous. To delete your post history you have to delete all your comments before deleting your account. And beyond that, you should edit your comments, then delete them, then delete your account.
The stated reason for this is so if someone delete their account, any useful information they may have provided (answers to questions, for example) doesn’t get lost as well. Otherwise deleting your account makes the old information useless, which hurts those looking for answers.
