Update: As some have pointed out: the restores can be rollbacks from the server issues or post haven’t been properly deleted due to subs being private during blackouts.

Also worth noting: according to the ToS Reddit can actually do whatever they want with existing content, apparently we agreed to this when signing up.
If they have eu users they have to apply it. That is why many places have ip lock outs that just prevent us from.seeing it.
However if they truly anonymise the content of a post they can keep it
