Worked for me too. I remember lots of complaints about those tools not working during the api drama, some including clashes with devs of a couple similar tools/extensions having to defend their tool.
Was curious enough that I followed up on a bunch of my own comments and spot checked a bunch of random ones from those threads months later. Didn’t find any that were deleted then restored. Literally not one.
Still run into gibberish comments on search results today, so clearly those were never restored.
It really seems more likely that the “reddit restores comments” push was either the comments never got deleted (user error, tool being overwhelmed, etc.) or bad faith actors trying to keep people from nuking their shit.
